I then got married when i was 21 and moved to Calgary and started to work for Custom Metal Contacting for 22 and a half years. With CMC i started out as a Journeyman 4 1/2 years and then moved up to Foreman position for 9 years and then too Field Superintendent for 6 years then CMC need someone too organize the shop and start to produce more in fabrication of ACM to the Sub Contractors in the States and job sites in Canada. I was Shop Manager for 3 years. I decided it was time for me to move forward with my career and work as a site superintendent for Arcan Building Ltd. I started and finished a job for them in one year up in Yellowknife NWT. I watched over all trades and also helped install carpentry and metal work for the site. After the job was finished I decided to move back to Manitoba and start my own company KJA Contracting. I did work for Dynamic Investment and Sussex in Selkirk. I worked as a Handyman for people that needed assistance.
