Bio

Over 50 years old and am at present the Manager of the Salvation Army Correctional & Justice Services of Ottawa where I was appointed to Aug 1/13. I have been a Salvation Army Officer since 2003 with appointments as pastor/officer of three churches, one here in Ottawa and two in Newfoundland and Labrador. I have also been appointed the Business Manager for a downtown ministry unit in St. John’s, NL and in the business department at the Divisional Headquarters.

When I was first diagnosed in 2009 (large mole on back) I actually walked out of my doctor’s office laughing. By keeping a strong positive attitude and a strong faith it help me fly through the initial treatments. It is through that faith that I have continued through each new treatment to date.
