I am a lifelong resident of Grande Prairie. While I was getting my education in Grande Prairie I was fortunate to benefit from many local sports programs offered in our city. I played minor hockey from the time I was 5 years old to 17 years and occasionally still like to shoot the puck around. In addition to hockey I swam in the local swim club, played volleyball – school, club and college. I left Grande Prairie after 2 years at the Grande Prairie College and went to University of Alberta receiving my Bachelor of Physical Education, then after a short time attended Concordia University and received my degree in Education.

I returned to Grande Prairie to teach but also to marry Jane Farley. We have been blessed by 3 daughters – Helaina, Evangeline and Juliauna.

Although I enjoyed my time teaching and coaching Volleyball in Junior and Senior High I felt it was time to make a change for my family. So after much consideration and discussion with my family I took the Real Estate course and I have not regretted my decision to join my Step-Father, Bud to sell real estate at RE/MAX Grande Prairie.
