Director/Board Member
Born in Kingston Ontario Dave earned a Bsc in geology and engineering from UBC. He worked in geological exploration of northern Canada before returning to school and earning an MD from McMaster with a residency at Dalhousie. Dave’s first full time practise was in Tofino, which led to a consuming interest in the ocean and involvement in commercial fishing. He continued the practice of medicine and commercial fishing operations concurrently until 2010, before retiring on Vargas Island with his wife, Una. Together they have two children, four grandchildren, and a dog.
