BIO

Hi, I am the redhead in the middle. I was born in Ireland but lived in England and Australia and have been in Toronto for many years.

I went to Costa Rica in April 2007 with Habitat and loved it. The group was wonderful and we had lots of fun and laughter together.

My passion is the environment and I am lucky enough to be on the Board of the Toronto Green Community. I have been working on a recycling project in a high rise building in a priority neighborhood. The vast majority of the tenants come from outside of Canada and it has been a terrific experience working with them.

In terms of fun, I love to walk/hike. I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the coast to coast in England and other walks in France, Turkey and Alberta. I love to travel and am fortunate to have been to a number of countries. I play tennis and golf and, despite having two left feet, I go to dance/exercise classes. I enjoy good food, wine, whodunit books and gardening.

I really look forward to meeting, working and having fun with all of you.

My name is Craig, I'm from Chatham, Ontario, a small town near the Windsor/Detroit border. I work as a technical analyst. In my spare time I write a little bit, play and watch sports, and I am always on the lookout for unique or unusual activities to get involved in (I took luge lessons with the US Olympic team, attended Space Camp for adults, participated in the Rock-Paper-Scissors World Championships, to name a few!). This will be my third GV trip - I went to Honduras in 2009 with Laura, Jim, and Mike, and went to Kenya this past fall. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Greetings

Currently ‘enjoying life’ in New Hill, North Carolina, south of the border. I left the corporate rat race in 2002. I now spend my time working on Habitat projects and building musical instruments while keeping my hand in the engineering profession on a part time basis. I have traveled throughout the world, raised my family and now bring my skills and experience to bare helping with Habitat’s Global Village Projects, Habitat blitz builds, as a local Habitat Affiliate Team Leader, and many other mission building and service projects. I speak a bit of Spanish and a lot of Southern English. I enjoy most all types of outdoor activities (except shoveling snow), woodworking, meeting and helping other people and playing the fiddle.
