What brought you to Prince Edward Island?
I moved to PEI almost six years ago now, having left a small town in the area near Ottawa, Ontario. Since then, I have been building my professional life as an engineer with MDS Coating Technology in Slemon Park, PEI. My background is technical, but my interest is in the business side of the aerospace industry.
