I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm 36 yrs old and have been married to my wife for 14 years. We have one beautiful daughter named Kaitlyn who is 3 yrs old. Currently I am employed as a production manager at a kitchen cabinet manufacturer. Starting there right out of school I have been a cabinetmaker since 1989.

My parents were extremely thrilled (not so much) when I brought home my first reptile when I was 17. It was a Green Iguana. Since then I've kept Boas, Kingsnakes, Chameleons, many various geckos, Bearded Dragons, Blue Tongue Skinks, Uromastyx and Monitors. Currently my breeding project is Yellow Ackies which I've dreamed of getting for many years.

I construct all my own enclosures, which is almost as much fun as keeping reptiles themselves.

I am part of the staff here at Herp Center because helping others comes naturally to me. There is much help needed by new reptile owners and I enjoy being part of a community that is dedicated to passing our experiences and acquired knowledge on to others.
