 I was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I began work in 1969 with Nova Scotia Public Health and the Canadian Department of National Defence before beginning university receiving a Bachelor's degree in philosophy
and European history from Mount St. Vincent University in Halifax. I then took a Masters in Theological Studies from the Atlantic School of Theology, graduate studies in philosophy at Saint Mary's
University Halifax, and recently carried out Post Graduate research in Philosophy with the University of South Australia. In 1994 I received a Diploma in Therapy from Dalhousie University and operate
a part time counseling service.
 I published my master's thesis as The Child as Quest, University Press of America, 1984
and various articles in academic journals in the areas of philosophy, psychotherapy, theology and ethics. I have lectured in philosophy and ethics for over 20 years. In 2006, after 24 years as a
Religious Education Director and Pastoral Associate with the Archdiocese of Halifax, I retired to carry out research in the philosophy of education in Europe. While abroad in Europe in 2006-07
doing this research I completed my first fictional work, Behind the Altar which is published by Xlibris Publishing. I continue to be involved in academic seminars, research, and writing with a
focus on cultural renewal and human growth.
My wife and I have two adult children, we love to travel, and hope to return to Europe soon for an indefinite stay. I play guitar and piano and enjoy entertaining friends with a focus on the music
of the 60's and the Beatles. My secret love is classical piano but that is an ongoing work in process.
