I was born in Newfoundland, raised in Ontario and moved to Penticton, BC in 1985.  Married now for 39 years; I am a husband to a beautiful woman, 2 wonderful daughters and 1 busy fabulous grandson.  As well 2 small might dogs.

I have worked since teenage years till the incident that brought on a spinal cord injury and left me quadriplegic 4 years ago.  Throughout the years I have acquired many skills; to name a few:  I worked in Hospitality and Service industry; Residential Care Worker, Counsellor, Facilitator, Life Skills Worker, Pastor in our local church and did many ministry outreaches.  I was heavily involved in entertainment as a Director, Actor and Singer.  I worked in labour jobs such as a sub-contractor, electrical, maintenance, painting, shipping and receiving and even did some Security roles. In my community and workplaces, I was involved in committees and serviced on Boards in various capacities.

SCI did not alter how I look on life.  I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives
