I started in archery with a lesson in January 1971 and was hooked immediately, both my partner Mary and I started together, and both were active in local archery since then. We both competed Provincially and Nationally with our first Nationals in 1974. I shot professionally in those days and Mary made the World Team that year and we were bitten. I became involved in Archery Canada (then FCA) in 1981 as Chair of the Coaching Committee and then became the Olympic Coach in 83/84. I helped set up the Regional Coaching System and worked there until 1985 when I was elected to the Board. I then served in many capacities including President until 2023. I also worked Internationally as the Chair of the World Archery Target Committee and as Vice President-North of World Archery Americas. I am a founding member of the Canadian Archery Foundation and current chair.
