Before Nait and the start of my sales and marketing career, I was a carpenter for about ten years. I began carpentry trade back in 2001 and received my Red Seal to become a journeyman carpenter in 2006. I still enjoy carpentry and to this day I still do projects only difference now is it is a hobby instead of an occupation. I am also a family man, married, with one son age seven. I am also the oldest sibling out of six children. With my four brothers and one sister we have taken the sport of golf which we all love and in 2008 started an annual golf tournament called the Fall Classic. We started the tournament with a small group of 12 which has now turned into a two day event with a group of 48 this year. Of course being born and raised in Edmonton I have had the privilege of playing hockey as a youth and now as an adult I play once a week in a men’s league. I have also recently joined a gym to maintain my health but also to keep my mind sharp. Thank you taking the time to look over my resume and I look forward to hear from you. REFERENCES
