My current interests are in alternate fuels, hydrogen power and anything that will save money at the pumps! Been a bit of a Rebel most of my life and got called that by superior officers on the force, therefor Rebel's Roost.

I went to school in Val d'Or, Quebec. Moved to McKellar, Ontario near Parry Sound in 1942 where we grew up on a small farm. My father was a building contractor and during the summer months I learned all about carpentry, plumbing, electrical wiring, stone masonry and a myriad of useful skills. In 1956 I joined the Ontario Provincial Police, stationed in North Bay, Ontario. In 1966 I transferred,to the Intelligence section of the OPP at their headquarters in Toronto. We worked the organized crime bit using visual and electronic surveillance. I was in charge of the electronics section and designed and built all the tracking and listening devices. I left the OPP in 1972 and got in to the Motel and Restaurant business in North Bay. Due to health problems about 2 years later, we gave up the motel business. I got involved with electronics in the sawmill business and traveled extensively as a service manager. Became a Consultant in the field of Process Control and Automation for the sawmill and mining industry, then branched out to Energy Monitoring and Power Management. Retired from that in 1992.
