I have 20+ years working as a gardener/landscaper with Aardvark's Landscaping & Lawn Care. During the same time period during the off season, my partner and I opened Crystal Glide Ski & Board Services in North Vancouver. It continues to be a thriving business today.

I worked sporadically in the film industry and joined the I.A.T.S.E. 891 film union in Vancouver B.C. in 2017. I was employed as a Greensman. This is the area of set construction that involves all the necessary trees, plants, and lawns that are required for each specific set.
