I specialize in Canadian military records and research, Saskatchewan homestead records, and Saskatchewan records. In addition, I am the current Curator of the RCL Branch 56 Museum and a published author. In 2021 I established my business Griffin Genealogical Research Services. I am a member of the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society. I also serve as the Public Relations Officer for Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 56 in Swift Current, SK, Canada. In March 2025 I was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for my volunteerism with the Legion and my work preserving local and Canadian military history.
