Who Are You? Brad Burnell

Age: 36.
Occupation: Manager.
Employer: Sandstone Lanes.
How long have you lived in Drumheller? Since mid September, so I’m brand new to town.
Where are you from originally? I grew up in Carstairs.
What brought you to Drumheller? The opportunity to manage a bowling alley. We’re renovating the roof, lounge, and adding an arcade.
What do you like most about Drumheller? The people. Being a new person in town, everyone has been very welcoming.
Any travel destinations in mind? I try to do a trip to somewhere warm once a year.
Who would you most like to hang out with? Wayne Gretzky. I saw all his games in Calgary and I got a puck from him when the All Star game was there. I was wearing a Gretzky jersey and when he skated past he saw me, tapped on the glass, and tossed me a puck.
What is one thing you could eat for the rest of your life? Tacos.
Any hobbies? I‘ve bowled for ten years, played baseball since I was five, and gaming. I’m looking forward to doing some slo-pitch next year.

Favourite games? Sports games. I have all the NHL’s and Tiger Woods games since 2000.
What would be your theme song? I’m a country guy, so I’d have to say Kenny Chesney’s I’ll be Back.
Favourite movies? I love action packed movies, like Die Hard and Blade. Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes are two of my favourite actors.
What is one piece of technology you could not live without? I hate to say it, but I live on my phone.
What is your most memorable childhood toy? My original Nintendo.
What would you do with $1 million? I would take care of my family first, then I would use it to travel.
What superpower would you want? Fly, then I could go somewhere warm and not have to pay.
Any words of wisdom? Live every day like it’s your last.
