Hi. Welcome to my website.
This website is here to provide you with my profile, showing my wide range of experience in local and international activities. Please have a look under the different tabs for further details.
As a preliminary to your looking at these details, let my tell you a little about myself from a personal perspective.
I was born in 1959 in Empress and raised on a farm at Bindloss, Alberta. I went to high school in Medicine Hat and then to Olds Agricultural College. I was active in sports, boxing, hunting, fishing, and in 4H. I won several 4H championships as a member of the Jenner Beef Club. I was Provincial champion in boxing several times and AB Winter Games Champion as well as Bronze Medalist in the 1982 Canadian Championship. In track and field I have won numerous Alberta Summer Games gold medals in 100 metre triple jump and long jump.
I was part of Fieldberg Charolais and we showed cattle all over Canada and the USA for 19 years. I still enjoy riding and working cattle with a good horse.
Our family has always been very active in politics and I was on many local organizations and on local federal and provincial committees.
Subsequently I was very active in business, starting in Mexico in 1994. I lived and worked in Mexico and El Salvador and worked in Ecuador and Honduras from my two bases down there.
In 2010 I moved back to Medicine Hat and one of my sons and I bought a small distribution business which we still operate. My wife Tania and I have three small children and we love living in Medicine Hat.
I have been very active working with friends and neighbors on a few issues which I am concerned about. These include the Ports-to-Plains project, which involves the ongoing attempt to get a 24-hour port of entry at Wild Horse and a related highway north via Medicine Hat so we can benefit from the international traffic. I also have been working on other issues including property rights, the community pasture in the British Block, the Elk herd problem and the kangaroo rat problem. I have met with several provincial ministers and other department leaders to work on resolving these important issues. I have established some very good contacts in government and industry.
