For four years, I worked in the heart of the oil and gas industry in north east B.C., heating water through long, relentless winters. It was tough work in its own sense, but it built a foundation of resilience, precision, and understanding the sheer importance of doing the job right. When the opportunity came to shift into water transfer, I took it without hesitation, spending the next eight years mastering the flow, the pressure, and the logistics of moving massive volumes of water with efficiency and reliability.
On May 7th, 2024—Which so happens to be my wife's birthday!—I took the biggest step of all. I founded Vex Contracting Services Ltd., a company built on a simple yet powerful principle: raise the bar. Quality isn't just about getting the job done; it's about getting it done right the first time. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just precision, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence.
Starting a business from the ground up is no small task, but I wasn’t afraid to put in the work. I built my own website, ensuring that my company's presence reflected the same high standards I hold in the field. More than that, I set my sights on developing full-scale tracking system web apps—integrating user authentication, form sharing, and real-time data management—to revolutionize the way water transfer operations are managed. It's an ongoing learning process, but one I fully embrace.
Beyond tech, my expertise in spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations has allowed me to bring clarity and professionalism to every aspect of the project that I have been on. Organization and communication are just as vital as hands-on skill, and I take pride in ensuring that every report, tracking sheet and strategy is as polished as the work we do in the field.
As I look ahead to the coming year, I see nothing but growth—for Vex Contracting Services Ltd., for my team, and for every client who trusts us to get the job done. This is just the beginning, and I’m ready to make 2025 a defining year—one that sets a new standard in the industry and proves that excellence isn’t just a goal, it’s the way we operate.
