Amy grew up in a rural Alberta, graduated from University of Alberta as a dental hygienist and has over 30 years of experience in clinical practice. She raised three kids along the way in the country with chickens, Hereford steers, a large garden and a collection of bikes and motorbikes. Amy wanted to see the Yukon and started working at a dental office in Whitehorse a few years ago. This led her to setting up work in Dawson City where dental services are six hours away! She is passionate about the importance of oral health and it’s effects on whole body systemic health. At this point in her career Amy is free to travel, loves Dawson City and is happy to provide this needed service and promote oral health in the community.

Professionally trained in the natural sciences and emergency and risk management, he’s always had an interest in cooking in his free time. With a severe peanut allergy, the idea of missing out on food due to a fear of cross contamination was not something he took lightly, and instead channeled that energy into learning to cook different cuisines, albeit with sometimes modified ingredients. Cooking plant-based meals for the restaurant always adds some new challenges, but he enjoys the challenge of showing guests how good plants can taste.

When not in the kitchen, he puts his policy hat on and leads risk management activities for Yukon Spaces and its associated subsidiaries.
