Les is a Plumbing Service Technician and has been with G.M. Mechanical since 2004! He is a journeyman plumber/gas fitter who has been in the trade since the 80’s. 

He lives in Turner Valley with his wife (who looks much younger than Les) and has been there for over 20 years. He has six kids and, last I checked, nine grandchildren!

He states that his favourite part of his job is "being able to do something different every day." His career aspirations are similar to those of a lot of people, and that is to be someday able to retire! He states that he likes "Heating Season" the most as he gets to get customers’ furnaces back up and running. It's funny that he said this because, truth be known when I wrote our "G.M. Mechanical Christmas Poem" that I post every year on Facebook, I had envisioned Les repairing the family's furnace and not because he would be able to play an excellent Santa.

One thing I had to ask my employees if only for my own benefit, was, "Why G.M. Mechanical?" I got this from Les: "It is a family-run company that is just big enough that we get all different types of work and yet just small enough that everyone knows each other." 

Some of his hobbies include spending time with his grandkids, fishing, and hunting. He also volunteers with Beavers and Scouts with his grandkids.
