I grew up in the family demolition business and understand that industry in the sale of salvage.

I’ve worked as a business representative for 24+ years And I have over 40 years of experience working in a variety of construction industries.

I have extension negotiation experience along with conflict resolution skills. I was a union treasurer for 15 years and I was a pension plan trustee for over 10 years. I have extensive investment training along with managing many of the union staff, both unionized and the union.

I was on the IUOE Canadian conference executive board. I have been on many government committees related to training and I sought as a director on the IUOE Local 115 - Training within the labour movement. I’ve been affiliated with the building trades and all of the other unions and I know many of the other union representatives.

I hold a nationally recognized red seal for the operation of mobile cranes and can operate that equipment anywhere in Canada. Additionally, I have the experience to operate pretty much all heavy equipment. I have worked as a four person and a supervisor in the demolition and construction industries prior to becoming a union business representative. I have been a table officer of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115 since 2009 when I became the treasurer for the union and I helped take our assets from under 50 million to over 100 million within my tenure at the local union.

I enjoy anything that has an engine and I like to go to the track and erase my husky 450 super Moto as well. I have had cars, boats and equipment to operate personally.
