Additional Roles with the Canadian Red Cross:
I have been actively involved with the Canadian Red Cross for more than 36 years. With a background in aquatics (I still have fond memories of days spent teaching ocean lifeguarding in Hawaii and Australia while wearing a Speedo swimsuit!), I come equipped with an abundance of water safety knowledge. Teaching Red Cross programs full-time for the last 15 years has meant that I have instructed various courses including Wilderness & Remote First Aid, Professional Responder, First Aid and CPR, and various Instructor programs. I am proud to be a First Aid Program MIT, I am a firm believer in voluntary services and how they help improve our programs at the Canadian Red Cross.

Personal Message:
I am a proud father of three handsome young boys, and during a day off, you might find me fishing, kayaking, hiking through the mountains with my family, or maybe travelling, scuba diving, or enjoying a barbecue with friends.
