Background

About Mark Myles

Jack of all trades. Master of some. I’ve taken this tag line on becuse of the varied background of a life I’ve had. I’m not afraid to take risks for a perceived benefit and so I’ve tried a lot of things sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing (miserably), sometimes just meh. I’ve mastered some things, but nowhere near all. I still have a lot to learn. My wife Keely and I have two very successful boys who have grown up and moved away and our beautifully talented daughter has just graduated from highschool. Currently, I work as a 911 Fire Dispatcher in beautiful Campbell River, BC, but have also joined and retired from military service, worked for BC Ambulance, was a paid-on-call firefighter, worked in general construction, precision industrial surveying, heavy-duty truck parts, founded and closed a new church and was in ministry for around 17 years. I have a Master’s degree in Leadership, an undergrad degree in Youth Work and an Associate Diploma in Religious Studies. I am a recipient of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for my participation (as a Canadian Armed Forces member) in her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral procession in London, England. I am certified by BC Housing as an Owner-Builder and have just finished constructing a beautiful cottage on our property during my days off and hope to build motorcycles when I decide to “retire” one day. I have a few other projects and dreams in the queue. I’m not done yet, so join me on this crazy journey if you like. Subscribe to my blog, or follow me on the socials!
