I joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1970. I spent the majority of my career with various Combat Arms units. In 2004, I retired as a Chief Warrant Officer.

Growing up as an Army Brat and then joining the military, the only life that I ever knew and felt completely at home in, was the military.

I joined the Reserves as a Medic in Halifax in 1979. I liked it so much that I joined the Regular Force in 1980 as a Medic.
