About
Nick grew up as the son of a contractor in beautiful Victoria, BC. He entered the
construction field in the late '90s as the construction sector was gaining momentum.
Nick's background is working in a full mechanical commercial construction environment
— including large retail, assisted care living, institutional buildings, offices and
multi-story residential projects — where his responsibilities have included natural
gas and propane systems, hydronic heating systems, solar themal systems, storm/gray
water retention and delivery systems, fire protection, potable water distribution
and drain, waste and venting systems.
In 2008 Nick taught a course at NIC and has been teaching at the college ever since.
"Sometimes, you never know what you will like until you try it!" he says. "Being a
trades instructor is a rewarding challenge and I love seeing apprentices mature into
successful journeypersons and peers in the field."
