I called Manitoba home for 60 years. As a railway employee, I have traveled across the country numerous times by road and rail from east to west coast. I moved to the valley in 2020 and love calling it home now.

My favorite movie is the entire Harry Potter series. It was fun reading the books and sharing the movies with my daughters.

If I could have any superpower, I would love to be able to fly. That would be incredible!

I can’t think of any special hidden talents I might have. But, I do enjoy curling, golf, target shooting and watching football.

My wife saw an ad for the Youth Centre and suggested I check it out. I’m so glad she did. I enjoy meeting new people and being helpful. It is important we give back whenever and however we can. I hope we bring a little joy into the kids day and give them the opportunity to have fun and try some new things with the mobile summer program.
