He moved to BC in 1957 where he began an interesting career in many trades - saw milling, underground miner and blaster, bartender, truck driver, logging company owner, road builder, rancher, commercial greenhouse owner and for fun he was a champion sled dog musher, race horse owner and draft horse teamster. He did it all and with pride!
