It all began when I was in grade 5 when I received my first lizard (a green anole named Tibo) as a birthday present. This is where the addiction began. Not too long after that, I bought an iguana and a house gecko. However, I was still in elementary school and couldn't afford too much and my parents didn't really want a zoo in the house so I had to hold back a little bit.


Then in late 1999, my good friend Terry Moonie and I began to help out at a small pet store in Penticton. We mainly did it because it gave us a chance to play with the reptiles we couldn't have, but it also gave us a discount on the reptiles which was just what we needed. I then moved out in 2000, and started my real collection which grew to about 15 reptiles by late 2000. Terry lived next to a teacher at a local elementary school and she suggested that we bring the reptiles in to show the kids. We went in and did the presentation to a small class of about 25 students and went home not thinking much of it but within the next couple of weeks, we started to receive several other calls from other schools wanting presentations done for their students. Not too long after that we got a request to do a "show" at a birthday party so we did that too.


Within a year of putting on our first presentation we had received requests to show the reptiles at numerous schools, science fairs, birthday parties and other various functions. Unfortunately, Terry's work schedule didn't allow him to attend every show but I always had someone with me to help out. By this time I had been given the nick name "Reptile Guy."
