Our Team

Growing up with a Home Builder for a father, I've been around construction my entire life. After carving my own path working for different framing companies and acquiring my Journeyman Electrical ticket, I decided to join my father in the family business. I've learned literally from the 'ground up' all facets of the business. I starting out operating heavy equipment and our gravel truck, before working my way up and learning how to run the business. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to learn from the best (my father) while also immersing myself in new construction technology so I can take the old school knowledge and blend it with the technologies of the future. I am very passionate to see fundamental change in our industry and in housing as a whole. I've long felt a call to help incite this change and to get involved in a leadership role. I feel my knowledge and skills could be an asset to the Association in many ways, but feel especially called to get involved in the politics that so deeply impact our industry and our communities.

Andrea was born and raised in Kelowna and has always been naturally curious about the direction of the city and what the future holds. She has a passion for making change and working with others. She is on three CHBA-CO committees, the Events Committee, the OHAE Committee and the Marketing Committee. In her time on these committees she has been able to learn about the Canadian Home Builder Association - Central Okanagan Chapter and see all the impact this organization has on its members, as well as the province. She is so excited at the prospect of being apart of future change, getting further acquainted with the organization, and all of its members, as well as making a lasting positive impact. Andrea wants to be on this board because she wants to be a voice in her community and be an advocate for those who are all building our collective future.

Since 2017 I have held the position of Sales Manager at Westwood Fine Cabinetry for all 4 corporate showrooms here in the Okanagan. Working with the team at Westwood and our many builders, designers, suppliers and clients gives me a wide range of experience from design creation through to realization. The decision to move to Kelowna has proven to be life changing, personally and professionally. Working within the industry has shown me the importance of this organization. The network of professionals, the sense of community and educational opportunities are second to none. Currently I’m a member of the Events Committee and I want to take my involvement to the next level. I have extensive experience working on residential construction projects that range from simple renovations to multi-million-dollar homes and multifamily dwellings. This has enabled me to develop a broad network of diverse contacts across the industry spanning suppliers, designers, builders and customers that could serve to strengthen the CHBA Central Okanagan’s awareness and membership. I look forward to positively contributing to the evolution of this industry for many years to come.

As past EO of CHBA and a current member I understand the importance of what CHBA does for the industry. In my roll with Telus I work with the building industry and value the importance of CHBA in our business. My background as EO of CHBA gives me a unique perspective of the association, the history and the opportunities for the future. The CHBA in my opinion is such a valued Association that I would like to continue to contribute and be involved.
