Joe grew up on Vancouver Island where his love for fine foods started. He took his culinary training at Malaspina College/University and when the opportunity came to move to a ski resort town in 2005 he jumped on it. Not knowing where Fernie was located or what it was about… Joe picked up and moved within in 1 week of a new job offer. The wonderful atmosphere, people and the relaxed Fernie lifestyle are why Joe has made this his home. Joe enjoys football, camping, hunting, his bulldogs, cooking and of course skiing. Having worked in the industry since 2000, Joe brings to Island Lake Resorts knowledge, experience and the love for food.
