I have been an active member of the Salmon Arm business community since moving here in August 2001. I am currently president of Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association (three years) and director and past-president on the Shuswap Recreation Society board (over 10 years). My past volunteer positions include: director Downtown Parking Commission (eight years), vice-president & director Downtown Salmon Arm (eight years), director SABNES (three years) and director of Chamber of Commerce (four years). My wife Gena of over 22 years was born and raised in Salmon Arm and we have two children; Spencer and Katrina.
