About

Growing up I spent my summers working hard in the construction industry which ultimately shaped my career path. After a few years playing Football and Basketball at the University of Calgary I decided to head back east and to specialize in College. At Fanshawe College in London Ontario, I studied Construction Engineering Technology (Management). After Fanshawe, I moved back out to Calgary, the city I love, to work hard in the construction industry.
