Summary

I have been in the Food Service Industry for 24 consecutive years performing Service on all types of Food Equipment. Organized and versatile with excellent troubleshooting and installation knowledge. Well-versed in handling tools and repair procedures.

I have been self employed with my own company for 10 Years with Service Contracts at Canada Safeway, Sobeys, Bethany Group, Federated Coop. My Journeyman Ticket covers all Food Equipment including Electrical, and Gas , but does not included Refrigeration, as that is a separate trade in Alberta. If you would like a copy of my Ticket, please let me know and I can send it to you. If there is any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
