My four years at Nelson High School laid the foundation for the career I’ve built over the past 20 years as a businessman in the skilled trades. The support I received from my coaches and teachers helped shape my work ethic, leadership, and drive. Playing soccer and football taught me discipline and teamwork, while shop class sparked a passion for hands-on work that led me to where I am today. Nelson gave me the confidence and skills not just to enter the trades—but to one day run my own business. I’m especially thankful to my coaches for being part of that journey and building one of the GTA’s largest plumbing companies . Nelson will always be where it all began.
