My father was the director of Fish and wildlife in Fredericton for 14 years growing up, teaching me as much as I could grasp about the outdoors. I have a passion for wildlife identification and conservation. I have a diploma in forest technology and a diploma in advanced fish and wildlife technology from the Maritime College of Forest Technology, Fredericton. I'm currently enrolled in my last year of a bachelor of science in forestry at UNB. I spend my off time waterfall hunting, bird watching, cave exploring, hunting, trapping, fishing and hiking mountains.
