I was raised in Medicine Hat and went to the Medicine Hat College, where I completed my university degree through the partnership with Athabasca University.

Upon graduating, I moved to Brooks and articled with MNP. After a few years there, I moved to Abbotsford B.C., and worked for a sole practitioner accounting firm for 8 years. While there, I got married, and we have two sons. My wife and I decided that Medicine Hat would be a better place to raise a family, so in 2018, we moved to Medicine Hat. I started at Schwab & Co in 2019, passed the CPA Common Final Examination in 2020 and proudly became a partner in 2025.

When I am not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy playing a variety of sports, including tennis, golf & basketball. I am also the treasurer of the Medicine Hat Little League Umpires Association.
