Ian Kirby, Woodlot Forester
My Résumé
Tough career choices
Every person in my family was a tradesperson. Being an electrician, millwright or welder were the only career options laid out for me.
I originally chose to go to university so that I could continue playing football. The older I got, the more realistic I became about my abilities to become a professional football player. I had to look at other options. I remembered the forestry technicians I'd worked with at the mill in Trenton and decided to look into forestry.
