I enjoy spending time with friends and family, golfing, bowling and volunteering as the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce. I’m the IT manager for Murlin Electronics, and have a couple of companies I run, a computer contracting company and Kindersley Social. Another huge part of my life is the fire department, being able to be a part time professional firefighter and balance a career and family has made my life very rewarding. Anybody who’s ever thought about becoming a firefighter or thought they would like to do this as part of their life, our family would like to give you the opportunity to be part of our team, you won’t regret it.

I love to spend time with my close friends and family. Being outside is important to me, I enjoy camping, water sports and snowboarding.

My passion in the Fire Service is the people. I love interacting with the kids, schools and senior care homes. Teaching fire safety is a passion for me.

I originally joined the fire department as a way to challenge myself and also give back to the community that I grew up in at the same time.
