I was born in Edmonton, Alberta and raised in Wetaskiwin. Growing up, I could be found dismantling anything I could get my hands on. However, my creative mind required no instruction; I built things as my mind saw them and was fascinated by the construction industry.

Throughout my career, I worked in various industries before opening my first business, Vivid Customs. After that, I owned landscaping, oilfield servicing, and even transportation businesses. Despite what I was doing, I loved having the ability to use my creative flair for each job.

In 2018, I struggled through some personal obstacles and decided to hire a life coach. To help cope with the struggle of my healing journey, I made small creations out of nuts and bolts and later moved on to cutlery. I soon realized I could create incredible pieces of art that would become interesting conversational pieces. Thus, TheeUpCycler was born.

By using discarded objects, I can reduce my environmental footprint and inspire others to find beauty in the items that are often overlooked or quickly discarded while also using my creative vision in a way that nurtures the human spirit.
