Born and raised in Medicine Hat where my wife and I are currently raising our two kids.

After beginning my studies at Medicine Hat College, I transferred to Mount Royal College,
where I completed my Bachelor of Applied Business Administration with a major in Accounting
in 2007. After I graduated, I began articling with an international accounting firm in Calgary,
gaining valuable experience working with both large oil and gas companies and smaller joint
ventures. Later, I returned to Medicine Hat to finish my articling with a local firm, where I
obtained my Chartered Accountant (CA) now Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA)
designation and developed expertise serving a variety of small and medium-sized businesses,
particularly in agricultural sector, oil and gas, retail, and automotive sectors.

In 2014 I joined Schwab & Co. Chartered Professional Accountants, and as of 2018 I am a
partner in the firm, helping clients with accounting, tax, and business advisory services.

My wife Kendra and I are raising our two young children in Medicine Hat, and family life keeps
us happily busy with sports and community activities. Outside of work, I am active in the
community — volunteering with the Medicine Hat Minor Hockey Association as a coach,
Medicine Hat Ball Hockey Association as a coach. In the past I also participating in local
organizations including The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat, Medicine Hat PACE Rotary, and
Medicine Hat Tackle Football.
