I was born in Victoria shortly after the war ended and attended school at St. Ann's and St. Louis College before moving to Nanaimo in 1958. I finished High School at the Seminary of Christ the King in Mission and returned to Nanaimo. I was married in 1967 and started a business there. In 1978 I decided to sell the business and entered Law School as a mature student. I was called to the bar in 1982 and have practiced continuously in B.C. since then. I moved in 2004 to Prince George where I took a position as a staff lawyer with the Legal Services Society. When the local office of LSS shut down in 2010 I was pleased to be asked to join Third Avenue Law where I have remained ever since, practicing exclusively in the field of criminal law.
