BIO

My name is Gavin Shields. I am the creator of HeartShifting and Millennial Falcon Media is my (and Millennials as a generation) video, audio, multimedia production company.
I hail from the tri-cities of Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, Ontario. Growing up, I was given the opportunity to be homeschooled along the Grand and Speed Rivers. After dabbling in high school, I moved up to Thunder Bay on the shores of Lake Superior with my family of origin in 2012. Recently, my wife, daughter and dog have set up our family home near Animikii-wajiw Thunder Mountain in 2020.
