- Biography
- I am of Icelandic heritage and share my boat with Lynn and a cat named Hayden. Hayden likes to sail with me but is not too keen on flying with me; Lynn on the other hand likes sailing with me and flying with me. I grew up around boats (my brothers fishing trawler and my father's sailboat). I helped crew the sailboat when my father, brother and I sailed it from Iceland to British Columbia. In high school, I was an RC Sea Cadet, four years in college and five years in the Maritime Command (now RCN). Following that, I got a degree DVM at CSU in Colorado.
