A little About me

I was born in Gimli Manitoba (yes - an Icelander!), and grew up in Calgary, Alberta, where I attended the University of Calgary and S.A.I.T.

I started my plumbing apprenticeship with my father-in-law in 1975, and received my journeyman plumber/gas fitter ticket in 1980.

I worked as a commercial projects foreman in Calgary for Campbell & Hillier Ltd. until 1983.

My family (wife, two children) moved to Vancouver island in 1983, settling in Saanichton where I opened Wyeco. I now have two granddaughters and a grandson as well.

Since 1983

I have spent a few years with EMCO Corporation as a regional employee, looking after customer software for western Canada, and creating numerous programs for internal use.

At one time or another, I looked after "fire protection", "waterworks" and "inventory control" for EMCO, but since 2006 hade returned to my plumbing business. I am currently 74 years old - and it has just too painful so I have closed my plumbing business

I retired from plumbing in June 2024

and am pursuing other hobbies such as photography, art and writing
