About Me

My photo
I am a military brat who joined the Canadian Forces and served for 40+ years in both the Regular Forces and the Reserves. I was lucky enough to travel around the world and Canada. Now I'm settled in God's country, on the West Coast of Canada, with my wife, Jo. We met on the internet in 2001, got together in 2002 and married that year and it's been smooth sailing ever since. I have been officially retired since November 2015 and am now enjoying my life with Jo and our puppies, 2 miniature schnauzers, Bonnie and Clyde.
