Owner
I grew up mainly in Edmonton and Saskatoon, and took Commerce at the University of Saskatchewan. When I finished university I entered the family tire business. I had a great interest in drag racing, and eventually went to the United States and took training on building race cars. I then worked full time in that business for the next few years. In 1989 I started in the transmission industry. I bought into Midtown Transmission as a partner, then in 2001 I bought out my partner and become the sole owner of Midtown Transmission Ltd. Besides the time I spend in the day to day running of the business, I also am a director on the Victoria Hopsital Foundation, and am the past Chairman of the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce. I have a wife Jacqui and two sons Cole and Zachary. In my spare time I enjoy camping and fishing, watching movies, and travelling with my family.

Bookkeeper
I was born in Saskatoon and have lived in Prince Albert for the last 29 years. I have worked at Midtown Transmission for 17 years. I have had the opportunity over the years to attend several classes, seminars and training in the areas of computer, accounting, credit and customer service. I very much enjoy the contact I am able to have with customers, both on the phone and in person. I have two daughters, two son-in-laws, and three grandchildren which are the real joy of my life. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, gardening, reading, watching TV and lately I've been doing a lot of home renovations.
