I am excited to be the contracted psychologist for the division this year. I've been a registered psychologist since 2009, have been with PRSD since about 2002, have been living in Medicine Hat for nigh on 15 years, and have been roaming the earth since the days of dinosaurs (I turn 40 this year). I have a gorgeous spouse, three beautiful children, and two annoying cats. I enjoy playing guitar, drinking pina coladas, and making haste in the rain. Looking forward to a great school year with y'all.
