From the Owner Tony Dixon
As a young man I got my first summer job packing groceries. Well that didn’t last a full day.
I got my second chance at a career, working for the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRGC) building walkways and bridges. Chainsaw, lumber and hammers – it was a calling. After school I got a job as a labourer in the fire insurance business, learning many things along the way, especially structural damage restoration. When I was hired as an apprentice with a custom home builder in Kitchener, I was able to hone my skills in general contracting.
When it was time for me to spread my wings, I planted my feet in Guelph where my family was, and I have never regretted the move! Serving in the Canadian military (Reserves) taught me to handle challenges head-on with optimism and creative solutions. I served overseas in Germany, doing security for our General and staff, resupplying radio relay stations in the mountains, as well as completed a posting in the Artic for celestial navigation, survival skills and Inuit culture. Honourably released (Master Corporal), I take pride in conducting honest work with integrity.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy visiting the family cottage and sailing Georgian Bay on the ‘the Silver Lion’. I’m a proud father of two young women currently pursuing post-secondary educations, and of an Australian Kelpie – the Frisbee Queen! – named Nadia. I continue to dedicate myself to families such as mine to uphold an engaging and safe community.
