  • Chris Mills

    Chris Mills built his first lighthouse when he was 7. It had a foghorn, too. Apparently building that lighthouse wasn’t enough, because he later went on to become a Canadian Coast Guard lighthouse keeper, working on stations in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia for nine years. After getting degrees in history and journalism Chris returned to sea, working in search and rescue for the Coast Guard. He’s also worked in radio news and as a DJ at several radio stations in Halifax. He’s still visiting lighthouses, doing search and rescue, and hosting “Smooth Seventies” on 105.9 SeasideFM every Saturday afternoon.
