What do you like most about your job? People generally don’t grow up wanting to be a hearing aid specialist, but this is such a rewarding job. I get people thanking me for what I did. I love making a difference in people’s lives.
Where are you from originally? I grew up here in Drumheller.
What do you like most about the Valley? I really like how the community is so banded together. When there’s a task to be done or money needs to be raised, they get on it.
Any top travel destinations? I definitely want to go to where my ancestors are from in Western Europe, so Scotland, Ireland, and England. I’d like to know what it’s about and get some nice pictures of some castles.
If you could travel through time, when and where would you go? Back to the ‘40’s. I really like that era with the fashions, vehicles, and the old fashioned ideals.
What is your most memorable childhood toy? Easy! In 1985 I opened my Christmas present and it was a Cabbage Patch doll, her name was Maggie. I still have her, she has a spot in the closet.
What is one thing you could eat for the rest of your life? There’s this cream cheese dip with salsa, fresh vegetables, and shredded cheese. You just scrape it up with crackers.
Favourite movies/tv shows? I’ve been watching Quantum Leap on Netflix like crazy. For movies, The Princess Bride and Legend. If I had to choose something more recent, Forrest Gump.
Favourite songs? I like club music, something that always has a happy beat to it. I like the new song Someone I Used to Know.
Do you collect anything? Board games and some really old and obscure ones too, like Worst Case Scenario Survival Game.
Any words of wisdom? You must put yourself in alignment with what it is you want.
