Biographical Sketch

I was raised in Alberta and after graduating from the Engineering Physics program at the University of Alberta began a 34 year career in defence research during which I completed Electrical Engineering Masters and Doctorate degrees within the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Laboratory of Electronics.  My major interests were Information Theory, Statistical Communications and Digital Signal Processing which I applied to problems in the underwater acoustic detection and surveillance of submarines while assigned to the Naval Research Establishment in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

I later directed the maritime R&D program in the National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa and participated in a one year program of strategic studies at the National Defence College in Kingston.  I later took up the position of Director General at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield (now known as  Defence Research and Development Canada/Suffield) responsible for programs in Military Engineering and Chemical and Biological Defence.  



Since retiring I have contributed as a board member to various service, science and education related organizations including:

  • Science Alberta Foundation
  • Medicine Hat College
  • Rotary Club of Medicine Hat
  • City of Medicine Hat Economic Advisory Board
  • Opportunity Capital Corporation
  • Cypress Club
  • Alberta Ingenuity Fund
  • Medicine Hat Clay Industries National Historic District
  • Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta
My wife and share our time between our home and office in Medicine Hat and our farm some 20 miles to the west where we grow alfalfa forage, under a private irrigation system, for neighbouring cow-calf ranchers..
