Personal Information

I am a dad to two very energetic boys who are currently 8 and 6 years old! My oldest is a Type 1 Diabetic who was diagnosed at 18 months old. On my days off we are usually gallivanting around the mountains or foothills west of Calgary seeking out new adventure, all while actively managing my oldest sons T1D. My passions are hunting, fishing and conservation work with several organizations in Alberta and North America. If I am not with my boys or in the outdoors, I am with my wife and our pup in Saskatchewan as that is where she currently works and lives.
