I was in the Canadian Army for 6 years, of which I spent 3 ½ years overseas. After discharge I apprenticed and worked as a mechanic for 37 years. My life partner Cheryl, of 29 years, and I have 4 children; Blayne, a mechanic in Moose Jaw SK, Danielle, a hostess at Topper’s Bar and Grill in Davidson SK, Kenny, a heavy equipment operator in Regina SK, and Chantel, a hostess at the Heritage Inn in Moose Jaw SK. We also have 3 grandchildren aged 9, 5, and 3. My home club is the Craik and District Lions Club. I have been zone chairman for 2 years. I am presently chairman for Cavalcade for Diabetes. I have been club treasurer for 4 years and was also president of our club. I am now Vice District Governor Elect. I also belong to the Royal Canadian Legion. I coached minor sports for 5 years and sat on the minor sports board. I was on the school board in Viceroy SK as well as mayor of the town of Viceroy. I am presently semi-retired as I still repair vehicles at home part time.
