As the 2026 Skills Canada National Competition in Toronto wrapped up last week, I can't help but reflect 10 years ago. In 2015 I made it to Saskatoon and competed in my first National cabinetmaking competition. I learned a lot and wasn't quite ready for the stage. Another year of preservation and 2016 saw me to Moncton where I earned silver in the Post Secondary Cabinetmaking, representing Manitoba.
Now, I continue to use those skills and knowledge to run my cabinetmaking business. Never stop learning. Never stop pushing. Life is about finding what you love doing and giving it your all.
Thanks to all my instructors, mentors, employers and educational facilities that have helped guide me to where I am today.
