Raised in Northwestern Ontario, Alan went to school in Red Rock. Alan attended Lakehead University and graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor's of Science with a major in geology. Alan then went on to complete a Master's of Science at the University of Alberta, again majoring in geology. Alan has been married to his wife Janice since 1975 and will be celebrating his 46th wedding anniversary later this year. Alan is a proud father of 3 sons, one of whom sadly passed in 2012. Alan spent the 1980's doing mineral exploration throughout the Thunder Bay—Rainy River riding. Alan lived with his family in the riding between 1975-1977 and again between 1980-1991. Alan "retired" in 2010, but started up his own geological consulting company soon after.
