Who do you count as your biggest influence? My father
taught me work ethic, community involvement and good
morals from a young age. I was regularly brought to work sites
from as young as eight years old. I watched my dad work a
full-time job while operating the business on the side for the
better part of 15 years and watched him build the business
and provide a better life for our family. It meant long days and
limited time with our family, but also provided better living
conditions, house improvements, family trips and the ability
for us to participate in our favourite activities. He has always
been happy to volunteer his time to the community and has
always been very charitable.. This has directly impacted
how I run the business and led to a commitment of
giving back to our community.

Knowing what you know now what would
f? Life is tough, be
you tell your younger self?
nessperson, I would
thankful! As a younger businessperson,
often get worked up or be hard
ard on myself when a
job didn't go as planned or if I had a dissatisﬁed
customer. In those tough times,
mes, I learned how to
deal with similar situations that would happen in
the future.
What's next for you, personally
onally
or professionally? There iss
always room to grow and
I hope that never stops.
Personally, I am focused
on creating more quality
time with family and
friends. The time and
eﬀort required to
run and manage the
company often takes
time away from family,
and as I watch my son
grow it reminds me that
it is time that I cannot
get back.
