"UPEI has the potential to grow still more, and to help students do the same."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to teach here?

I chalk it up mostly to aesthetics and chance. I care about my surroundings, and while I appreciate the atmospheric charge of big cities, historically, I’ve tended to gravitate toward modestly sized towns that have a certain character or aesthetic appeal. I come from Guelph, Ontario, a city about a couple of hours from Toronto.
