President

I grew up on my parents' vineyard and winery in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley. Working in a small, family-run enterprise taught me the importance of a community-centred, collaborative approach to business with an emphasis on quality, value, and fairness.

After finishing school, I worked as a teacher, screen-printer, and musician before discovering a passion for building during my first summer in the Yukon. I have been fortunate to work for Evergreen Homes and Construction for the last decade, the highlight of which was partnering with Da Daghay Development Corp. on the Riverbend affordable housing project.

I am honored to serve as part of the TBL team, and to help further the social, environmental, and economic well-being of our community.

Lead Hand

My name is Brandon Smith, I’m a Ta’an Kwach’an Citizen. I’ve been enjoying the trade of carpentry for the last few years working for DDDC Construction. My goal is to get my red seal in carpentry to get more knowledge under my carpentry belt.

Construction

My name is Nicolas Williams, I’m a citizen of Champagne and Aishihik First Nations. I began my carpentry journey in 2019, and through hard work and determination, I have successfully completed my first, second, and third year of carpentry at Yukon University.

This past spring, I achieved another milestone by finishing his third level, bringing him one step closer to his goal. With only one level remaining, I am on the path to becoming a journeyman carpenter.

My commitment is to learning and growing in this trade reflects both strong work ethic and my passion for building. I look forward to continue developing my skills and look forward to celebrating my success as I completes my final level of training.
