I was born in Edmonton Alberta and grew up in a Union Household, although our family moved around quite a bit, following the work, I always considered Edmonton my home.

0 i# n, J4 l; f; w3 @4 S2 @This upbringing, also reinforced my belief that Union membership was the single most important tool that workers have to ensure the best returns for their daily labour.

7 S& u4 M) }2 U' CWhile in High School I worked for Safeway and joined my first Union (UFCW Local 401). After High School I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the trades and joined Local 92 of the Construction and General Workers Union.

! F, G; X# H- ~7 |, }This choice gave me access to unionized construction sites where I could observe the different trades performing their work. In no time at all I determined that the Electrical Trade was the trade I wanted to pursue as a career. Once this choice was made I began pestering the Union’s dispatcher everyday for over a month and finally received a call for a signatory contactor in October of 1980. I became a member of the Local Union as soon as I was permitted and was issued my Electrical ticket (with Red  Seal) in 1985.


I have been privileged since obtaining union membership in 1981 to have worked with some of finest Electricians and Trade Unionists the IBEW has ever produced. Many of these members have become life long friends and mentors and it is these relationships that have helped form my current views on how our Union should be conducting itself.

' o6 e2 z. X* zI have observed that the greatest fear that many Union members express when asked to change the leadership of their Local Union is their fear that the Union will suffer due to the lack of experience the incoming leadership has and that outside parties will attempt to take advantage of this inexperience to garner advantages for their positions.
