I am 40 years old and was born and raised in the West Kootenay’s. Having lived in the area my whole life, I have gained a real love for the outdoors, and I share this passion with my wife who I married in 2011. My wife (Carol) always wanted children but we discovered she was infertile. In hopes of sharing our love, we chose to adopt a child when he was 2 years old (Jeremiah) and he moved into our heart, home, and lives. Approximately one year passed as new parents, Jeremiah was tested and found to be on the Autism Spectrum. From this point forward, we set up extensive intervention and support is ongoing. I love autism and want to aid others in their journey.
