CRAIG NIELSEN
Bio
Craig Nielsen was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His Dad spent twenty years in the RCMP force and as a result of his job transfers Craig’s family saw lots of Canada. In addition to Manitoba, Craig spent time in Ontario, Alberta, and finally British Columbia. Once laying down roots in Tsawwassen, B.C.. Craig began to enjoy everything the province had to offer including skiing, golfing, camping, and those great sports teams like the Vancouver Canucks, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and BC Lions. Craig graduated from South Delta Senior Secondary in 1988 and went on to complete the Architectural-Civil-Structural Drafting program at Vancouver Community College in 1992. Shortly thereafter, Craig moved to Oliver to manage his parent’s small orchard while they were in the country of Chile for a few years. After a brief stint in Vernon, Craig moved to Kelowna in 1995 and made it his home.
He currently works for the electrical company FortisBC Inc. as a Distribution Designer. He enjoys the comraderie and great fellowship that Kinsmen has to offer him; along with the personal growth that comes from chairing projects and how that experience he has gained he has been able to take back into the work force.
