I’d want to begin by saying ‘Hello’ to everyone and by thanking Judy and Erin and the rest of the Legacy program for this incredible opportunity.
I left the army in 2012 as a PH Tech and define my career by my 2009 ISAF Afghanistan deployment and my 2010 CANSOFCOM Winter Olympics deployment. I’ve been posted to CFB Trenton and CFB Gagetown and finally to CFB Esquimalt, Victoria, BC; where I met my wife shortly after leaving the CF. We continue to live on Vancouver Island where we raise our three kids.
My wife and I have a small, direct to consumer, online retail business and sell sustainable and eco-friendly, home goods throughout Canada and the United States.
I’ve never taken any formal business or entrepreneurial programs or courses so I hope to soak up as much as possible, and look forward to this challenge.
Best of luck to everyone,
Joel
