To preface, my biography is extensive but I believe my early years speaks to the development of my competencies and are comprehensively related to my skill base. I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. My family moved to Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada when I was eight where my mother was in Human Resources with the Government of the Northwest Territories. There, I enjoyed Boy Scouts of Canada where I made some very good friends and learned about the Inuit and Indian cultures. The north was particularly diverse as new Canadian citizens started their careers and businesses here. At this early age I was given the responsibility and provided the opportunity to travel scheduled airline to Regina each year supervised by only an airline stewardess. Spent stopover in Edmonton airport in this very busy international airport. Have always enjoyed video games. Moved to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories where I attended and graduated from secondary school at St. Patrick High School where I excelled in history and the humanities. My mandatory community service hours were fulfilled in the school computer lab where along with fellow students we developed and implemented the first school board's website. After my graduation in 1996 my family returned to the south where I attended the University of Regina. I found post-secondary school fairly mundane and so decided to explore the working world. I relocated to Edmonton, Alberta where I worked for Convergys and then Telus in Edmonton, Alberta. For the first time I was responsible for my own housing and maintenance. I quickly realized my opportunities were limited without the completion of a post-secondary education and so I returned to Regina where I completed my Business Administration degree in 2006. I enjoyed my summers working in various job but was fascinated by my two summers' of work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) museum in Regina where I cataloged and input artifacts into their new database. I felt privileged to handle very old and fragile items and learned the history of the RCMP by a very wise and knowledgeable elderly commissionaire who stood guard at the museum and gift shop. He spent many hours telling tales about the early development of the RCMP in the west and to this day I continue to read and explore the history of the opening of the west. A good introductory book is "Company of Adventurers" by Peter C. Newman written in 1985, a very good read indeed. And so this is where my resume
