My Bio

I have been living in Boyle, Alberta since August 2002. Previous to this I lived in Spirit River, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, and Hinton, Alberta.

My interests include computers, golf, and curling.

I am married with 2 children. My wife's name is Susan and I have a son Evan (8 years old) and a daughter Bethany (5 1/2 years old).

Sue was a Kindergarten teacher, but she is currently substitute teaching and stay-at-home "momming". She also helps out with Kids Church at our church. She enjoys reading and sewing.

Evan is in grade 3 this year. He enjoys golfing, playing piano, and playing on the computer.

Bethany is in Kindergarten this year. She loves reading books and Ukrainian dancing.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree (1988) and a Bachelor of Education degree (1991). Both are from the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

Sue holds a Bachelor of Education degree (1991) from the University of Alberta.

As of September 2000, we have another "addition" to our family. We are sponsoring a boy from Zimbabwe in Africa. His name is Lloyd.

We are sponsoring him through World Vision Canada (a real worthwhile cause!)

Here is a page of photos from Christmas 2000.

Here are some more pictures of the kids:
