I have attached my CV for brief details on my professional capiablities

18 years trade experience. Course development and implication experience. Project Management for Construction Turnarounds, Maintanance and New Construction in the oil and gas feild from Trade level to Superintendent level. Experience in other facets of Piping trades such as QC, Materials Management, and Safety.

My experience is both from books and hands on. In 1993, I became a journeyman boilermaker. After that I went to college and completed my adult education and vocational instructor programs. Since 2000, I have created and taught several business and trade related courses. The government has taught me how to complete one on one evaluations and my experience allows me to prepare and teach the required material. In 2006, I completed the BLUE seal in Alberta which qualifies me for trade management. My years of teaching have shown me a weakness in the college teaching system with First nations people. To fill the void I created 6 courses which include 4 trade related and 2 professional courses. The trade related courses start at the pre-trade level and end with a construction supervisor program. The professional courses include a vocational instructor and entrepreneurship program. It’s my goal to be able to equip people no matter where they are in life.

I have been in the steel trades for over 25 years. During that time I have worked in aerospace, mining, fabrication, energy, manufacturing and even niche markets such as film and television fabrication.

Dual Ticketed in both Red seal Welding and Fabrication I have also attained the business credentials in Blue Seal trades certification. LEAN (5S) Certified, TOWES Test administrator Certified, and OH&S Level 2 Certified.

Currently teaching in the Mining, Energy and Manufacturing division of a Post Secondary institution in Canada I still operate my private Welding, Fabrication and Consulting Business.

I also hold a Chair position for the Canadian Welding Association and am currently also contracted to write rubrics and curriculum for the Canadian Welding Bureau.
