I was born on an island in the
North Atlantic Ocean
I grew up in Gambo, a small town
300 km from the Newfoundland
capital, St. John's
And went to school at Smallwood
Academy in Dark Cove
One month after my 17th birthday
I had to leave Gambo and travel
down the Trans Canada Highway... to St. John's ...
... to study Marine Biology at
Memorial University of
Newfoundland
