I have always fought for what I thought was right: sometime I won and sometime I lost. Nonetheless, it always, always, always paid off as I stood ground for what I believed.

To make a short story even shorter, I am proud and thankful for the great opportunity I had to be part of forces for so many years and it is with a hint of sadness that I will be retiring. My little story started as a kid from the country side with no military background who was offered the opportunity to get a degree and become an officer. I had the pleasure of servicing in CMR (St-Jean), RMC (Kingston), CFSME (Gagetown), 5 RGC (Valcartier), 9 EG (Rouyn-Noranda), ADM(Mat) (Gatineau), 4 ESR (Gagetown), and DLR (Gatineau). Not only the little boy I was discovered Canada but also many countries around the world. I now retire with lots of good memories, friends and a lovely family.

Cheers to those who knows me and to those who don’t, just remember that being an officer is all about people skills.

Born under the lily, I grew up under the roses.
