Dr. Harold Foster lives with his wife Sarah, stepson Daniel, and cat, McNuff, in Victoria, British Columbia. A Canadian by choice, he was born in Tunstall, Yorkshire, England where he was educated at the Hull Grammar School and University College London. While at university, he specialized in Geology and Geography, earning a B.Sc. in 1964 and a Ph.D. in 1968.

He has been a faculty member in the Department of Geography, University of Victoria, since 1967. A tenured professor, he has authored or edited some 235 publications, the majority of which focus on reducing disaster losses or identifying the causes of chronic disease. More recently he has begun to write on longevity. His numerous books include Disaster Planning: The Preservation of Life and Property, Springer Verlag: New York; Health, Disease and the Environment, Belhaven Press: London, and Reducing Cancer Mortality: A Geographical Perspective, Western Geographical Press: Victoria.

He is a member of The Explorers Club and numerous academic organizations including The New York Academy of Sciences, The Royal Geographical Society and The Royal Society of Literature. He is also the editor of both the International and Canadian Western Geographical Series and is a member of the boards of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and the International Schizophrenia Foundation. He as been a consultant to numerous organizations, including the United Nations, NATO and the governments of Canada, Ontario, and British Columbia. He is also a member of the Science Advisory Panel for the Healthy Water Association and the British Charitable Foundation Health Empowerment Through Nutrition HETN. Every day he takes at least the recommended daily allowance of the known essential nutrients, in the belief that this will slow the aging process. As a result, most of his salary is spent in health food stores. His other bad habits include providing treats to all the neighbourhood dogs; losing at chess to his computer; being regularly beaten by Dan at video games, and with the assistance of @Derby, failing to correctly predict the outcome of horse races.
