Steve started working in the construction industry in 2008 in sales and was promoted to the district sales leader role before he turned his attention to safety training. Steve is qualified to teach a variety of courses including Working at Heights, Propane ROT, Natural Gas ROT, WHIMIS, Confined Space, as well as MEWP, forklift, earthmoving and 0–8-ton crane operator certification courses.  

Safety training is growing and much needed in the industry. Steve wants to keep people like his son who works in the trades, along with many of his son’s friends that he has known since coaching them hockey as kids, thinking about safety and its importance. Steve feels enthusiastic about sharing his message and how to operate equipment safely with each of his students.  

In Steve’s spare time you will find him fishing or on the golf course.
