About Me:
I’m a nice man from a nice family. British Columbia is my home and in my twenty-five years I’ve grown to appreciate the opportunity to plant trees, adventure in the backcountry, and most importantly, ski as much as possible. I’ve travelled to Chile and New Zealand to explore new wilderness and gain perspective on different ways of living. I’ve written music in a band called Oh Village to express myself creatively. I’ve worked as a ski patroller at Sun Peaks Resort to push my bodies’ limitations and care for injured people on their worst day. I am currently studying to become a Registered Nurse to support a future family and serve those in my community. |
Experience:
For the last two years, tree planting for Summit has made me curious about what is possible. I started my second season with a goal of hitting 4,500 trees, only to achieve my personal best of 6,120 trees. How is that possible? My past role as a rookie trainer and first aid attendant let me care for my crew and camp; this allowed me to support my fellow planters in their breakthroughs and I continued to see planters achieve what they thought was impossible. Next year I have the opportunity to develop a new role as crew boss and provide opportunities for people to achieve their goals. I am still curious: How much can I achieve next season? Can I help planters to achieve more than they think is possible? Am I still considered sane for continuing to plant trees? If you’re curious, apply and share why you’re excited to become a tree planter.
