Allan brings to Haskap NB experience in business management, technical innovation, and practical agriculture. After a career building, tuning, and repairing motorcycles, Allan became interested in haskap production in 2012, planting 4,500 shrubs on a farm that has been in his family since 1879.

Now semi-retired, he focuses on growing, harvesting, and processing haskap berries while supporting the association through his participation on the board of directors and member recruitment. Passionate about an active lifestyle and maintaining agricultural productivity, he enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience with other growers.

A proud father of four and grandfather of seven, he enjoys horseback riding, exploring the family property, and spending time outdoors. His commitment to the community is also reflected in over 75 blood donations.
