A little background on me;
I'm originally from Hamilton Ontario where I grew up and went to school, although I was born at Niagara Falls Ontario. I completed High school at Delta High School in 1971. I joined the Navy in February of 1972 as a Marine Engineer Technician.

My Naval Career;
My first ship was HMCS Yukon in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was part of the crew that took her out west and brought back HMCS St Croix.
|  |
| | |
| My next ship was HMCS Fraser for a year or so.
|

I was then posted to HMCS Saguenay in 1976 as an Able Seaman and left in 1985 as a Petty Officer (first class). From here I went to the Engineering school as an instructor. I instructed fitting classes to the C5 students. I spent two years at the school.

| I was on the Nipigon twice. I especially liked this picture because I was standing behind the photographer when he took the picture. It was taken while down in Florida. Between 1990 and 1994, I was posted to HMCS Carleton in Ottawa Ontario, I really enjoyed this posting.
I was onboard the Nipigon for her final sail past, the last of the Cadillac's. After leaving the Nipigon, I was posted to the Anticosti for a few months where I was the CERA onboard.

I was then posted to the Damage Control Division as the senior instructor for NBC. Also worked in the Quality Control cell, where aside from doing exams etc. I was also the web master and the safety officer. I'm currently posted to HMCS Preserver where I work as the planned maintenance coordinator, training coordinator and engineering department regulator. Check out the pictures I took at sea while onboard the Preserver. Ship will soon be going for a well needed refit and some time in 2004. I plan on retiring from the Navy 14 June 2004, I need more than a refit. It has been a good career for me but all good things must come to an end.

Some personal items; I was married once, back in 1979, am currently divorced since 2000. Life is good again! |

I did manage to have a daughter from the marriage, Angelina, who was born in 1980 and now lives in Ottawa, Ontario. I do get to see her every now and then. I'm currently living in Spryfield, Nova Scotia, where I bought a little house and some land. It keeps me busy, clearing trees, and then of course I get to burn them all winter long. Currently live with Sue now and the seas are calm once more!

| My Hobbies and Interests; My greatest love is camping and all that goes with, such as camp fires, swimming, boating, and just plain relaxing. Computers are my next joy in life, got to love all them chat lines. (ICQ Paltalk MSN etc). I also like traveling, photography and digging into my family history. Anything to do with nature, I generally enjoy. Plus my family and friends are always great to kill time with. |
