Summary
Started out working for Sunshine Custom Farming when I was 15, spent the summer baling and helping with maintenance on various equipment.
When I was 17 I wanted to get into a trade and started working for Cervus Equipment (currently Brandt Tractor) while going to college for Heavy Equipment Technician. I worked there for roughly 5 years.
In the mean time Sunshine Custom Farming has expanded and they were looking for a Technician to help with equipment maintenance and field work if needed. So then I went back to Sunshine and have been there for the last 2.5 years.
In 2020 I also joined the Granum volunteer fire department (MD of Willow Creek). I've been with the department for 5 years now and have had lots of experience operating fire equipment.
