Author’s Biographical Note

Growing up on the homestead gave me a unique and valuable education that only “the land” can teach you. Emulating the blueprint for life that I discovered in nature helped me to find the happiness, joy and fulfillment that I had dreamed of.

After high school, I went on to complete an exciting career with the Royal Canadian Navy followed by 28 adventurous years with British Columbia, Alberta Provincial and CRD Parks in Victoria B.C. I have immensely enjoyed raising and nurturing my family as well as challenging several business ventures.

Retiring early gave me the time to fulfill a deep need to help suffering people. With my faithful wife Maggie, we worked to encourage people of all ages, striving to undo the damage caused by severe exhaustion, bad decisions, drugs, alcohol and lies. We enjoyed helping people find a new life, rebuilding their self worth and giving them hope for the future.

We have recently returned home to the beautiful Peace River Country of Alberta where we enjoy the quiet beauty of the land from my old home town of Eaglesham.

Maggie and I enjoy a blended family of eight children and eight grandchildren. We love to photograph, write and explore our beautiful Canada.
