Introduction I was born a mad scientist, by 1982 I was a science educator. I have two official specialties, Geology and Biology. I have a creative streak as well, often expressed through music, writing and working with people. So what started out to be a Master of Science ended up to be a Master of Christian Studies from the affiliated Seminary, and a foray into street level Christian ministry and the arts scene in Regina, Saskatchewan. That was 1987, but returned to science education in 1989. I taught a range of Sr. Science courses for about twelve years. Gradually I became involved more and more in Educational Technology, leading to my second Masters degree in that field from the University of Calgary. My job right now is Vice Principal of North Coast Distance Education School in Terrace, BC. I was married to Cheryl in 1987 and have two children Sarah and Daniel.
