Hi, I'm Gifford (Giffie to my family and close friends, Giff (same, safe), Giffy (my mom would object about the spelling), Gif (and I roll my eyes, lazy, just ask), Clifford the Big Red Dog, (you owe me a drink), Gilbert (I'll refer you to a mortician)... and yes, once I did wait all year to get my Golf Membership crest to put on my golf bag... after a whole year of being harassed... one crest was left, "Gilford Wilkins".  Yarmouth Links (Ted and I had a laugh about that one, but he knew my handicap).

I was raised in the small rural fishing community of Overton; proud son of a fisherman, and worked plenty a year.  My cousin Colin learned to play badminton, and hit me in the face so many times I started playing tennis.  (Thanks man) That led to a tennis scholarship led to Lee University (TN) and a Bachelor of Science (on the side).  Scholarships led to South Western Baptist Theological Seminary (TX) and a Master of Arts in Education while interning at Park Cities Baptist Church in North Dallas.  I completed the last 8 hours of that degree at Oxford University (UK) in the summer of 1996.
 
I love Nova Scotia, was saved on the hills of Wolfville in 1988 to put no fine a point on it... so was pleased to complete the eviqualent of a Masters of Divinity at Acadia University before enrolling in the Doctorate of Ministry program in the spring of 2005 and launching Atlantic Webfitters.  
 
I hope you enjoy portal software as much as I do...
