Denis Morisset was born on April 28, 1963 in Québec City and was adopted by a musician father and stay-at-home mother. He attended Holland Elementary School, Quebec High School and St. Lawrence College after which he enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces with the intention of becoming a recruiting officer. Mr. Morisset eventually became a non-commissioned officer working in communications. Based at Valcartier, he was transferred to a counter-terrorist unit in Ottawa in the early 1990s where he was mandated as a specialist in radio communications and computers and selected to be a member of the special assault units. He took part in numerous missions throughout the world, but once his unit was dismantled, returned to Valcartier. A civilian once again, Mr. Morisset held various different positions in the Quebec region. Denis Morisset is married and has three children. His book We Were Invincible, written in collaboration with Claude Coulombe and published in 2008, delivers an emotional and detailed account of an exciting yet brutal life that the majority of us do not even know exists.
