Gregory R. Korpela

Gregory Korpela was born in northern British Columbia, where he lived until he was ten. By the age of twelve, he’d cross-country skied in the Canadian wilderness, kayaked white water and sailed through storms on the Pacific Ocean. As a young boy living on a sailboat for several years, he became an avid reader of fiction. As an adult, Gregory has worked as a paramedic with the B.C. Ambulance Service, providing emergency patient care in both remote and urban areas. He has also worked as an industrial rope access technician, performing technical rope work and high angle rescue services. Gregory has focused on technical writing, developing various safety and rescue courses which he also teaches. He now lives on a farm in Mission B.C. with his wife, son, and bullmastiff.
