How long have you lived in the area? I was born in Drumheller, moved away for several years, and then moved to Michichi in 2006.
What do you like most about the area? The cohesiveness of the communities around here .
What is the coolest place you’ve travelled to? I went to the Oregon coast in 1990 and 1991 on a biking trip. It’s beautiful and really peaceful. There’s a book in the library about the top biking trips in the world and I’ve done four of them so far.
If you could travel through time, when and where would you go? Back to the 1940’s and 1950’s. From the stories my grandparents told, it seemed like communities back then were really close-knit. Conceptually it’s appealing, but probably not very glamorous.
What three things would you bring to a deserted island? Some matches, an axe, and I think I’ve become too attached to my iPhone.
What is one thing you could eat for the rest of your life? My wife’s lasagna.
Favourite movies/tv shows? The Mob Doctor is very interesting. I really like Forrest Gump.
What’s on your playlist these days? It’s pretty consistent. George Straight, Hey Romeo, Jason Blaine, and Johnny Reid.
Favourite sports? I play hockey usually once a week. I usually watch hockey on TV, but since the strike I’ve found I’m a lot more keen about Canadian football. I also love the winter Olympics.
Any favourite teams? The Calgary Flames, Red Deer Rebels, and Drumheller Dragons.
What would you do with $1 million? Cover the deck on our house, build a one- or two-car garage, help support the community, and go travelling.
What superpower would you want? Invisibility.
Any words of wisdom? In the words of Red Green, keep your stick on the ice.
