Author Info

Andrew Winter

I live in Edmonton, AB with my wife and two kids. My regular job is as an Emergency Communications Officer for Alberta Health Services, where I take 911 emergency calls and dispatch ambulances. Building websites and aquariums have been a passion of mine for many years. I'm also a member of the Aquarium Club of Edmonton.
