I'm
a research associate at the
Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock, a research centre at the
University
of Guelph.
My work is mainly in Sheep
Genetics. No, not cloning, more
practical
stuff such as developing selection and breeding programs. Here you'll
find
information on my research projects, preliminary results, articles, and
more.
Recently, I've been working on Abalone Breeding. We're
developing a selective breeding program for Canada's only --threatened!
species of abalone, to possibly initiate a new aquaculture industry and
also provide stock for outplanting in the wild. You'll find some info
on this research and a photo of these beautiful creatures here.

Who
would have ever thought it possible? Yes, I'm an athlete, a runner.
Still
kind of a beginner, I've been at it seriously for only a few years,
and started at the age of 40. Previously, I had never done any sports,
in fact hated sports, but wasn't a couch potato either. Now I've
completed
a marathon, entered races, and even won a few medals. Read my story and
find out more. Sorry, this section is
terribly out of date.

I like to be creative doing stained glass, mosaics, paint effects, and decoupage. Admittedly I'm better at planning and designing than actually doing. A lot of my spare time is happily spent playing with colour and form in applications for my house and garden. Passers-by really enjoy the garden. Since completing a course in stained glass in 2005, I've created tons of stuff. Someday I'll put photos here.
