Hart of Nipigon
This is a collection of me. Things I do, Places I go, opinions, more opinions and local news and information I feel is relevant to the community and region.
The views and opinions expressed here are mine. Sometimes opinions, sometimes facts, either way its the truth as I see it. I do research subjects thoroughly in general by logical me, although sometimes the passion for particular subjects will get away from logical me and hand it over to emotional me.

About me
My family and I moved to Nipigon in January 2007 as I took a position working as a geologist in Beardmore/Geraldton.
I have worked as a baker, short order cook, salesperson, electronics technician, computer technician, systems specialist, web designer, web programmer, graphic designer, computer skills trainer in Nova Scotia before choosing to move to Nipigon to work as a geologist.
I have a trades diploma as an electronics technician, a bachelor of science degree with honours in earth sciences. I also hold numerous certifications in computer and software-related disciplines. I have never stopped learning, and will not. I am never content with just accepting something without knowing as much about it as possible.
