Hometown: Winnipeg, MB In my opinion I do not have a “best photo”. The How long have you been in the CAF: 3 years vast majority of images I have captured are project related which make them important in their own way. Why did you become an Imagery Tech: Growing up I had the desire to join the military since my father had been a member for 26 years. When I applied for the Forces I was going for another trade, but when I came across Imagery Technician I switched my choice. There was something about the trade that called to me. What is your favourite type of photography: I used to dislike doing technical engineering photography but after doing it frequently I’ve grown to enjoy it.
