What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?
I was playing rec hockey and got blind-sided by a girl from the other team. A second girl skated over and both proceeded to rough me up. Can't hit a girl, so I just had to lay there and take a beating. At the end of all the mayhem, I was the one that ended up in the penalty box! No justice in this world!

My old boss helped me get started with my business, letting me know that I had the ability to run a successful business if I put my mind to it.

When I was 13, my Dad and I spent the entire summer re-painting his car. It was a great time. We would work in the shop and just hang out when it got too hot. Every once in a while he would give me a sip of beer. It was a great sense of accomplishment when it was done!

My girlfriend and I like to take drives to surrounding areas and check out the sights.

To grow and operate multiple locations across BC where we provide homes and business owners with window washing, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing services.
What has been your biggest struggle either in work or life?
Since launching my business balancing my time between my professional and personal life has been a struggle.

I would listen to more of the advice offered to me by business owners and my previous bosses.
What do you always find yourself saying?
‘Some times she goes, some times she don’t! It’s the way of the road.’
If you could spend one whole day with anyone in the world who is currently alive, whom would you select?
I would love to hang out with Ken Block (professional rally driver) and go for a ride in his racecar.
Why do you think it is important to shop locally?
One of the main reasons why I started my own business is due to the lack of jobs in Kamloops. If more people bought locally, we could create more opportunities for employment.
