Bio
Personal Profile
From a young age I have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to many character developing opportunities. A family pastime like downhill skiing evolved into a decade of racing snowboards. From 2008-2013 I represented Canada on the World Cup. My engineering degree exposed me to construction and business management which I brought to the construction tool rental space where I led and grew a twelve person company to twenty plus.
My world travels and analytical background have allowed me to succeed at all challenges that come my way.
