I am an "actively-retired" outdoor and environmental educator in a career spanning six decades. I love the outdoors, both personally and as an outdoor educator. Related hobbies are both writing and photography.

In August 2024, my book Outdoor Magic: The Power of Nature Connection was published. It has received many favourable reviews including one from David Suzuki. The book recounts many of my personal and professional encounters with nature. My thesis is this: unless we personally connect on a regular basis with our natural surroundings, we shall lack the will desperately needed to address our many and pressing global environmental issues.

I regularly write opinion pieces for the Hamilton Spectator on climate change. I have also had op ads published in the Globe and Mail as well as the Toronto Star. I have delivered over 1,000 presentations on the topic of climate change. I have also produced and funded videos on climate change.
