What animals make the best/worst pets? For me it’s alway been about the human-dog connection. Dogs have an incredible ability to show love, emotion, empathy and intelligence. They are the great vaults of human secrets. On a side note I have had the pleasure of living on a farm from ages 6 to 13. During…

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? From very early childhood till age 13, I longed to be a geologist. I loved science, rocks, fossils and the thrill of digging and unearthing unique finds. I had a bag I would take on my local neighbourhood expeditions, in it…

Are you a good judge of character? I believe that I am a good judge of character, both within my personal and professional roles. My work requires exemplary communication and observation skills. I’m extremely strong with pattern recognition, both with things and people’s actions, reactions, choices, voices and mannerisms. Therefore I’m not easily fooled because…
