There is another side of Mel Warner that people are not aware of. . . My day job! I am a UBC graduate, with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and I work for the Canadian Federal Government Grain Commission’s Research Laboratory. 363 Impressive day job but it must be quite a challenge juggling both working lives.
