ROSS CROGHAN

Pemberton,BC

Summary

While I have no direct experience, I do have 50 years of work experience and competency in a wide range of positions and situations. Beginning the day after Richard Nixon resigned, I started my first full-time permanent job as a ditch digger in Birchtree Mine in Thompson. By August 1977, I held the third most senior position (behind the Mine Manager and Mine Engineer) at Lyon Lake mine as the Chief Surveyor. Subsequently I operated an engineering company in Whistler, completed a Mini MBA program at Simon Fraser University, wrote the business plan for Sabre Rentals in 1987, drove an 80' fishing boat in the North Pacific in a hurricane. I was the first male in the province of Ontario to get sole custody of a female infant child in January 1978 and was a single parent to my daughter until 1986. I have a very wide spectrum of experience that I can apply in a position as an EA.
