Bio - July 2017 for the Parish of St. Peter and St. Paul, Esquimalt
.
I was raised and educated in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. I received a degree in health care (DDS) from the University of Toronto in 1973. I practiced in the KW area for 30 years. In 2001, I completed my degree (Master of Theological Studies) from Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. In 2012, with my spouse Lynn, we moved from Ontario to Victoria, BC. Lynn and I have four children and seven grandchildren, ranging in age from three to nineteen.
I have been active with The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada as a member, for many years; a national board member and co-chair of the 2014 RASC National Assembly, held here in Victoria, BC. I enjoy astronomy, photography, wood-working, gardening and golf and curling. I love to cook, to travel to distant places to view the night skies and the wonder of God's Creation.
I have been active in the Anglican communion as a liturgical assistant, since 1976 in several parishes in Kitchener-Waterloo; and as a postulant for ordained ministry at Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria; St Michael and All Angels, Royal Oak; and the Parish of St Peter and St Paul, here in Esquimalt, since 2013.
Lynn and I reside in View Royal and both enjoy our condominium home, which we share with our small dog, Harley.
