Most memorable rugby game(s)/experience(s)/memories:
------------------------------------------------
Canada U19s vs Japan U19s, 1982. Found out many years later that it was the first victory of a Canadian National Team over any other country except the USA.

First trip to Hong Kong 7s, 1989. The passion of the crowd was immense.

First cap vs England, 1993, which we won. Great feeling to beat the homeland.

How did rugby effect/influence your life:
----------------------------------
Realization that rugby really is a passion. Only when you are so passionate about something do your put your body through such abuse without getting compensated for it.

It is amazing to think about the many parts of the world that I have seen that I would not have the opportunity to have seen without rugby. 

The friends that I have made and kept over the years is something that has made my life so much more interesting.

The camaraderie that rugby exhibits throughout the world is second to no sport and makes you realize how we can overcome all differences through such friendships.

Current involvement in rugby:
------------------------
Just moved to Denver and have got involved with the Denver Barbarians and the Misfits Rugby Club, recently playing in the Aspen Ruggerfest.

Still involved with the Canadian Classics and the World Rugby Classic in Bermuda.

What are you doing now (residence, work, family etc):
----------------------------------------------
The company that I work for, Long View Systems, moved me (and my wife) to Denver, Colorado this year to run our US Head Office as Branch Manager.

My son, Tavis, is 27 years old and works for an oil and gas services company in Calgary, Canrig.

My daughter, Siobhan, is 24 years old and works in the health care industry at a doctor’s private clinic, The Allan Centre for Women.

Input/suggestions for Canadian rugby and or young players:
--------------------------------------------------
Do it for the love of the game. Work hard and play hard.

Other comments:
--------------
It is best summed up with his Howlers motto: “It’s more than a game, it’s a way of life.”
