Proudly born and raised in Medicine Hat, where my wife and I are currently raising our two young children. I started my education at Medicine Hat College and then transferred to Mount Royal College. I completed a Bachelor of Applied Business Administration with a major in Accounting in 2007.

After completing my degree, I started articling for an international accounting firm in Calgary where I gained experience with large oil and gas companies and small joint ventures. An opportunity presented itself for us to move back to Medicine Hat to work with a smaller accounting firm, which is where I completed my articling and obtained my Chartered Accountant designation. My focus has always been with small oil and gas, retail, farming and automotive related businesses. In 2014, I decided I needed a change and so I moved over to Schwab & Co. Chartered Accountants, and as of 2018, I am now a partner.

My wife Kendra and I have two amazing children who keep us busy with their sports and extra-curricular activities. We love to camp, skate and fish, as well, I currently volunteer with the Medicine Hat Minor Hockey Association as an assistant coach, and The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat; I also have been involved in Medicine Hat PACE Rotary and Medicine Hat Tackle Football.
