Neil was raised in Solihull, England where he attended Art College; receiving a diploma in Graphic Design. He always lived life with a sense of adventure and immigrated to Canada in 1987 to pursue that adventure. It was there he met the love of his life Dolena and had two beautiful children Brandon, 14 and Evan 11. He pursued many sporting interests such as cricket, rugby, bobsledding, skeleton, skiing and was always a “Brit” at heart.
