From a family full of hard workers and have been involved with construction and the trades since before I was a teenager.
I believe this vast experience in a number of positions would make me an asset to just about any team.
- 10 years on the large installations crew. Starting as a laborer helping the journeymen with their duties, eventually onto a service truck on my own where I was responsible for customer relations, trouble shooting, service, installations, and after hours trouble line. Also, with my previous experiences, I was large equipment operator, running Bobcats, forklifts, and tele-handlers.
- 22 years as general manager. My responsibilities included, but were not limited to; customer relations, consultations, quotations, sales, project management, purchasing, materials management, billing and invoicing, shop drawings, human resources, IT, saftey program management, advertising, facilities and building management. I represented management in union (IBPAT Loc 187} negotiations. I was responsible for over $22 million in sales, along with the livelihood and safety of dozens of employees, and the fiscal responsibilities of the owners and their partners.
I was responsible for small tool use, traffic control, cleanliness of truck and making sure we had materials for the days' work orders.
Started on th jug line as a "hound" and quickly advanced to line truck driver. I spent some time on the shooter's truck and on the survey crew.

Sports have always been a large part of my life, though age has slowed me somewhat. I love golf and have had the opportunity to play some of the worlds best courses. In doing so, I have been able to travel, something that my wife and I still enjoy. We also enjoy camping, with a trailer parked year round in The Crowsnest Pass. My wife is a fantastic cook and baker, so we enjoy entertaining with friends and family, both at home and at our campsite.
