Name: Joel Martin.
Employer: Riverside Value Drug Mart.
Job title: Front Store Manager.
What do you like about your job? The Ainscoughs have been very generous towards my role in the store. I enjoy such freedoms as to explore my creativity and enforce common sense.
Dreams or goals: To be the best uncle I can be to my future niece or nephew. (due. Sept 21).
Hobbies and interests: I spend the majority of my free time watching movies or working out but if I could, I would spend my ideal day road-tripping with my girl.
How long have you been in Drumheller? Two and a half years.
What do you like best about Drumheller? The pace! After living in a touristic, very mainstream city like environment, I like the slower pace here, no hustle and bustle.
If you could change one thing about Drumheller, what would it be? To see less empty store fronts, have more businesses open.
Where are you from?Hamilton, Ontario
If stranded on an island what tool would you need? We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
What’s in your iPod? Richie Kotzen, World War Z, episodes of Family Guy.
Favourite book: Everybody Poops by Taro Gomi. It pokes fun at itself without being absurd. It doesn’t examine the subject nor does it try to draw a reaction. Much like the title, it just is. As a companion book, I also have The Gas We Pass by Shinto Cho, much for the same reasons.
Favourite movie: Halloween
If you had a million dollars:We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Who you like to have dinner with dead or alive? I wouldn’t enjoy sharing a meal with any dead people. A nice homecooked meal with all my extended family would be ideal.
Words that you live by: “Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweatty things.” - George Carlin
If you had a time machine where would you go? New Year’s Eve 1999. Best pizza I ever had.
