Bob started out life on the prairies, moving to Toronto at age 11. The next almost 30 years were spent in Toronto, 20 of those years working for Scotiabank.

The lure of life outside Toronto was overwhelming so Bob, Mary, their horses and cats moved to a farm just north of Stirling. The total change was wonderful. Work was found at Sears Canada, and bread was on the table.

In 1991, Bob’s best friend was involved in a military Hercules crash in Alert, NU and ended up in a wheelchair. This was clearly the start in an interest in persons with disabilities. As time moved on and with Bob’s love of downhill skiing it drew him to the Ontario Track 3 organization teaching children with disabilities how to downhill ski. The synergy of these two events with Pathways was simply too much to ignore.

I have been in the fire service for over 25 years. I began my time in the fire service in a small rural volunteer fire department. Later joining a larger volunteer department and over 12 years moving through the ranks from Fire Fighter, to Fire Prevention, then to Captain and ending with the position of Fire Chief full time. This grassroots training and working at every level has helped me immensely over the years. After a sudden life changing event I moved to another larger department as a full time Deputy Chief and ultimately became Fire Chief for 7 years. While ever striving to improve and learn I was given the opportunity to apply for a Deputy Chief position of a much larger composite department. I currently assist in the management of 16 Career and 130 volunteer department, operating from 7 stations.

This journey has afforded me the opportunity to learn and lead some amazing professionals and grow personally. My 3 daughters and i are life long residents of the Quinte Area.
