Hi there!
This page serves to provide a little information about myself, and
show a few of my better photos (in my opinion, anyway) that I couldn't
find a place for anywhere else.

My Dad's boat being
launched in the spring. |
Although these days I mostly live in or around Halifax,
Nova Scotia, I spent the first 18 years of my life in the small town of
Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

I have just finished a CO-OP Bachelor of Civil Engineering program.
For me, this consisted of two years at an associate university (Dalhousie
University) where I received my Diploma of Engineering, and then three
years at the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS). I graduated
in October of 1998.

The steam rising from the stacks in Sudbury, on a
very cold morning. |
Some of my hobbies include sailing, curling, reading, amateur photography
(if you can call it that), and tinkering with my web page. I have my own
Laser which I like to sail, when I get the chance (not often!) and during
the winter of 1997 I was a member of the Halifax Curling Club.
 |
The schooner Bluenose on the
LaHave river. |
During the summer of 1996, I was on a Work Term with the Halifax Regional
Municipality, working out of the Bedford Construction Services office.
I went around looking at construction sites, telling people what they were
doing wrong. Fun, eh?

In January of 1997, I went on yet another four month work term, this
time with the Canadian Hydrographic
Service, the Atlantic Region headquarters being situated at the Bedford
Institute of Oceanography.
In the fall of 1997, I worked for the Department of Natural Resources
CANMET (Canadian Metals and Energy Technology Lab) in Sudbury, Ontario.
I tested different soil samples using various different test methods, among
other things (like freezing my butt off - Sudbury is cold!).
In October of 1998, I graduated from the TUNS Bachelor of Civil Engineering
CO-OP program. I got my Iron Ring on April 25th. At the end of July, 1998,
I started work for BFC Civil (formerly
Foundation Maritime). BFC is a large Canadian construction company, and
my first job was estimating quantities and scheduling for the construction
of the concrete foundations for the new Gas Plant in Goldboro, NS. I now
work out of Eastern Passage, near Halifax, NS.

If you have any comments about this page, of you just want to say hi,
drop me a line at: mcclearn@geocities.com
Anyway, that pretty much covers my boring existence, so I'll let you get
back to more exciting things....
