A little about me:   I was born and raised in the London area of southwestern Ontario. After leaving high school I joined the Canadian Military and served 10 years in the Air Force, most of that time in Greenwood, Nova Scotia where I met and married my wife.

After the Air Force with 2 young children at home I went back to college and obtained an Electrical Engineering Technician Diploma and started work with Ontario Hydro in the nuclear power industry.

While with Ontario Hydro (now OPG) I moved to Deep River, Kincardine, back to Deep River, Pickering and finally Darlington. During my second time at Deep River I spent a year teaching electronics theory at the Hydro school in Rolphton.

While at Pickering and Darlington much of my time was spent repairing and calibrating the radiation monitoring equipment that would shut the nuclear reactor down in the event of a problem.

I retired after 28 years and took up woodworking to keep my brain and body busy.

While browsing woodworking related websites I came across Jim Shaver's Pens for Canadian Peacekeepers website and my penmaking career was born. To date I have sent close to 200 pens to our Canadian men and women in the military. The majority of the profits from any sales go toward purchasing supplies for the pens I send to our military personel. If you are interested in this project see either my page on pens for peacekeepers or visit Jim's website.
