I have a strong background in personnel and team management, developed throughout the years at a senior level. I am continuously working with my reports and cross-functional groups to develop the required skills to meet goals for personal and business success. I always place a strong emphasis on a safety culture, style of leadership, and operational excellence. The experience I have gained with previous employers, the Canadian Forces, and the fire department has benefited me and my teams tremendously; this includes having worked throughout western Canada with multiple crews in a variety of areas simultaneously.
