Yes, he is.  He has collaborated with Michel Wyczynski on several books covering the history of Canada's Airborne Forces.

Probably not. Here's the thread starter by Dan Kemp.

I've got him this semester as my instructor for Norwich's Military History 530, the strategic thought and theory course.

"Upon graduation I joined the Canadian Armed Forces as an infantry officer. I have commanded at the sub-unit and unit level, and held key appointments in operational units and formations, as well as at our National Defence Headquarters. I commanded 3 Commando, the Canadian Airborne Regiment, the 1st Battalion The Royal Canadian Regiment, was Deputy Commander of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command and currently I am Chief of Staff of Strategic Training Education Programs at the Canadian Defence Academy in Kingston, Ontario. I have served operationally in Cyprus, the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Afghanistan."

MA and PhD from the Royal Military College of Canada.

Sounds like he's had a pretty intense career, so I didn't know if any of our northern brothers knew him.

I added this:

48th Regulator added his official bio.

Dan Kemp responds to our posts.

It's going to be a tough ten weeks. I'm going to have to get a copy of his book.

Thanks for the info, guys.

I've never served under his command, but I have met him.  My daughter bought me his book "Establishing a Legacy".  I felt odd asking a Colonel for his autograph, but I did get my book signed by him.  It was a pleasure to meet him.

Excellent presenter, been fortunate to sit through a few presentations in the course of a few years. I find his books are a good read, but mostly a bit above my current level (I'm working on it).
