I was born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario where I attended Conestoga College and studied Criminology. It was my goal to become a police officer, but circumstances got in the way, and I worked in the retail sector as a decorator for many years. I kept up my interest in the justice field with volunteer work in several areas and participated in related training courses during that time. 

After working for larger RCMP Detachments like North Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond, I was drawn to the appeal that a smaller Municipal agency like West Vancouver Police offered and since then, I’ve enjoyed 18 years in the role of a Police Dispatcher in West Vancouver. 

In the spring of 1991, I was walking West Vancouver’s scenic ocean-side Seawall and recognized the West Vancouver Police Department.  What an interesting line of work, certainly not your conventional office I thought.  A few weeks later I answered an advertisement for a temporary position with the West Vancouver Municipal Hall and filled that  position.  Just as my temporary assignment was coming to an end, I was offered an interview at the police department.  Excited but nervous, I experienced one of the most enjoyable interviews ever.  I obtained security clearance and that was the beginning of 17 years thus far.
