I am a Fisheries Biologist and Ichthyologist, with a professional background in fisheries management and research on Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon. I also have a background and interest in the pacific marine fish species of British Columbia. I have a BSc in honors Marine Biology from the Univeristy of British Columbia (1978) and an MSc in Biology from Simon Fraser University (1988). I have taken graduate ichthyology courses under N.J. Wilimovsky and additional course work under J.D. McPhail.
In addition, I am an amateur historian with an interest in military aviation history, specializing in World War II RAF Bomber Command and Canadian RCAF 6-Group. Source material that I have researched include 6-Group Operations Records Books (ORBs) as well as Squadron-level ORBs (Forms 540 and 541).
