His career in the electrical industry started back in 1997 and continues today, most in part to the founders of this great company whose beliefs in their people, customers, and suppliers helped create a dynamic working environment that he has never left!

Matt’s early career at Cesco was spent learning the principles of business passed on by their founders, continued learning and advancements, industry mentorships, and too many years of very long nights at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) where he learned too much to consolidate in one bio!

In late 2006 Matt and his business partner completed the acquisition of Cesco, and he has enjoyed many years of therapy since.

Matt’s Hobbies revolve around his children, motorcycles, tattoos, and of course…. travelling!
