Alan has a Masters degree in science and comes to FreshAir Adventure after a career in teacher education. He is co-author of the junior high textbook series, SciencePlus. Besides helping in the smooth operation at the home-base, he enjoys being a guide on many trips - sharing his insights into the geology of the area, the unique ecosystems of the Fundy coastline, its marshes and other "Fundy" phenomena. Off season, Alan spends time travelling to exotic locations around the world. Over the past few years he took part in multi-day kayaking trips in spectacular Ha Long Bay, Vietnam and in Tonga. Other recent trips have taken him to New Zealand, Argentina, Peru, Panama, Laos and Belize.

Shepody is a duck tolling retreiver and FreshAir Adventure's mascot (he actually belongs to Joe). This would be his 15th year entertaining guests at FreshAir Adventure's home base - but unfortunately he is not here. He has moved with his master to Fort Providence, NWT. I am sure he will miss the activity around FreshAir Adventure as much as we will miss him.
