I grew up in Elliot Lake, Ontario and graduated High School before going to the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston. After two years at RMC, I decided to change career paths and moved to Kirkland Lake to pursue a career in water/wastewater. I have been living in Kirkland Lake for approximately 15 years. I graduated from Northern College with an Environmental Technician Diploma. I worked as a Co-op student with OCWA for two semesters in the Town Of Matheson, Ontario before being hired as an operator full time. After a few years, I attained my Class 3 WDS/WT certificates working in the Kirkland Lake and surrounding area and became a Process and Compliance Technician. I was a PCT for the North Bay area which includes Callander, Powassan, Verner etc.. I have about 13 years experience with water and wastewater operations for Municipal and other designated systems that are applicable under O.Reg 170 and experience with about 55 different water/wastewater facilities.
On a personal level, I enjoy the outdoors including partridge hunting and fishing especially. I enjoy spending time with family/friends and playing various board/card games.
