 I was born in Milton Ontario on May 7th 1979. I was almost born in the car on the way to the hospital much to the protest of my dad who was driving. When I did come out it I was a breach birth... for people who know me that will be humerous. That's my brother, Colin, and I shortly after my birth. The funny thing about that picture is that couch is still in my parent's living room.   It wasn't long before I was helping out with yard work...  It was at an early age that my parents started to think I'd become an engineer. It was actually a result of a lego set my brother and I got for Christmas. This is me with said lego shortly after building it.  Doing yard work seemed to be a recurring theme... in this picture I'm operating the wood splitter, my brother is driving the tractor.  I grew up in the country just outside of Milton, technically in Georgetown. There was 4 acres of our property, but we were surrounded by forests and fields  Apparently I was quite cute when I was a kid... All dressed up for church.  Playing in the back yard...  Colin and I at Kelso  G.I.Joe was a big part of my early childhood...  Colin and I weren't allowed to watch TV as kids... something about being a bad infulence. So instead my mom made us camo outfits and allowed us to have toy guns. Here my brother and I are dressed up with some company showing our proud Irish heritage.  Halloween was always a great time... living in the country meant that my mom would have to drive Colin and I around. We wouldn't get a ton of candy, but enough to last to Christmas if it was rationed properly.    (I'm the Ewok) and sure... I was a nerd back then too (Grade 3 class photo).  |
