My name is Mason, I'm the instructor of electrical on the Williams Lake Campus for Thompson Rivers University. I have been an electrician for 14 years. Cutting my teeth in Calgary, I worked for a company that was contracted to wire 100 custom homes a year. Chasing experience I went into the mining, milling, and oil and gas sector to gain knowledge in industrial processes. This led me all over British Columbia, northern Alberta, and even northern Ontario. My days in the field often left me feeling exhausted, grumpy and not much fun for my family to be around. Although this abundance of experience led me toward a career I take tremendous pride in, it also drove me to make the changes my family and I both required. This chasing of experience is what eventually lead me to Williams Lake, the home to the famous Williams Lake Stampede.
Moving to Williams Lake has been an adjustment for both me and my family. When the instructor job for TRU was posted I applied as a way to gain experience in formal interview settings, never thinking I'd be considered for the position. When they offered me the position, my family and I thought this might be just the change we needed. Giving up the busy city life and settling down on 5 acres 30 minutes from Williams Lake in the community of Big Lake, BC. We have truly embraced the "Cariboo time" lifestyle. With an abundance of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and outdoor adventuring my family has truly settled into this small, quiet community.
