About

Welcome!

Coastline Custom Tours offers curated private tours for visitors to Halifax. My services are marketed through ToursByLocals.com

This website also chronicles my past work as a professional historian. Here you will find published articles, summaries of completed research projects, and links to social media sites.

From 1994 to 2006 I taught undergraduate and graduate history courses in Canada and the United States. From 2003 to 2013, I was an instructor in the Officer Professional Military Education program for the Canadian Armed Forces. I currently work for Statistics Canada as a Field Interviewer. uring the summer tourist season I am a tour guide and Road Scholar speaker.

My research interests chiefly relate to Atlantic Canada. My portfolio includes commissioned work for Canada Post Corporation, Parks Canada Agency, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and Nova Scotia Archives.

Arambec Research

This website is now over 25 years old. I’ve decided to retire the old name “Arambec Research” as my professional activities are now centred around tourism and conducting statistical surveys.
