As recent transplants to town, my family and I felt like we won the lottery when we settled on Coalhurst. With the recent addition to our family, my wife and I wanted to be closer to family, so we moved down from Edmonton in September 2020. We immediately felt at home here.
The people in this town really make it special. From all the neighbours we’ve met, to the strangers who have offered to help, it really stood out to us that this place is different, this place is exceptional. To those that have helped make Coalhurst feel like home, I want to extend a gracious thank you!
With my background in Mechanical Engineering Technology, I have had the chance to travel the globe to work. From cold winter nights in Northern Alberta, the East coast of Canada, to the outback in Australia I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of different conditions with a wide array of people. Currently, I’m working remotely as a draftsman for an instrumentation company based out of Edmonton.
Outside of work I enjoy time with my family. It’s been an absolute blast having family outings to explore the parks and playgrounds in and around the Coalhurst and Lethbridge area with our one-year-old son. When I make time for myself I’ll likely be playing disc golf at Nicholas Sheran Park or on the north shore of Park Lake fishing at dusk. While living in Edmonton I often enjoyed getting together with friends to play board games, although Covid has thrown a bit of a wrench into that, I’d love to spend more time connecting with new friends in that way. And now with living down in Sunny Southern Alberta I look forward to spending more time hiking in the mountains around Banff and Waterton.
My Personal Core Values
Do it the right way when nobody is watching.
Take pride in your work, it’s a reflection of who you are.
Never stop learning, even if it’s learning what not to do.
