About the Author
The author was born on a small farm in Nova Scotia, Canada, to a conservative, church going family. In Nova Scotia, he gained a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce from St. Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and began a career in the Canadian Revenue Services. In 1984, he obtained a Degree in Education from St. Mary’s University.
Working in a large city as a teacher of seventeen- and eighteen-year-olds, he enjoyed many brainstorming sessions with his students regarding life for them, their parents, and what to expect in their future.
