I was hired as a labourer in the decking department in Vancouver. I soon progressed to Metals Foreman working with decking, architectural sheet metal, and cladding. I became a Roofing Superintendent in 2011, and Roofing Manager four years later. In 2019 I became Branch Manager of Flynn's operations in Hamilton, Ontario. It doesn't matter where you begin with Flynn, this is the same opportunity for each person that comes through our doors. From the field to the office, Flynn invests in its employees and provides opportunities to grow.

As a journeyman glazier by trade, I was a foreman for Bahrys Glass in Calgary when Flynn acquired the company in 2008. I continued as Glazing Foreman on two projects for Flynn until 2009, when I became Construction Manager for the Edmonton Glazing Division. In 2011 I was offered the position of Branch Manager in Moncton, and relocated to New Brunswick (I was born in Bathurst NB, so I was moving home). In 2015 I was offered my current position of Atlantic Regional Manager, and relocated to Halifax.

I started roofing in 2010 as a general labourer; the guy who cleans up the debris of the roof. As the years went on I started to assert myself, as I wanted to learn and move ahead. I soon became Lead Hand. I was selected to be a Frontline Coach through a Flynn University program. That experience opened up my eyes and mind. Through hard work and positive energy you can succeed in Flynn. I was then approached with an opportunity to become a Health and Safety Specialist, and then Superintendent.

Started at Flynn as a material handler and worked my way to a sheeter then a lead hand. After six years I became a Foreman. I've got to travel to many different projects and work on many high-profile projects. After many years of being a Foreman I was presented with the opportunity to move into a management role as a superintendent for Architectural Metal Division in the Greater Toronto Area. The most unique privileges of working for this company is their commitment to a safe work place and skills development.
