My Personal Background
Having lived in British Columbia my entire life I really feel somewhat spoiled. The abundance of things to do and see in our beautiful province is truly amazing. I grew up for the most part in the Lower Mainland with the bulk of that time in Abbotsford. I was one of the very fortunate kids out there that didn't move a whole lot so I had a great core of friends right through high school. Growing up in an agricultural city was one I am thankful for. I have fond memories of picking ripe strawberries and raspberries as a young boy. I even sold John Deere tractors for a time and truly loved the experience.
As a family we traveled to the Okanagan yearly and hit every water-slide park that was out there at the time. I distinctly remember looking at the gorgeous landscape in Kelowna as a child and thinking "this would be a cool place to live!" Well, I guess wishes do come true as my family moved here a few years ago and we have loved every minute of it. During the various seasons we like to explore the Okanagan and spend time at the beach, the ski hills, the local shops, pick fresh fruit in the orchards or whatever else seems like fun for that day! Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley really is a special place!
