Having worked as a correctional officer, he is now branch manager of a local Hydrovac and Vac truck company servicing the Fort Saskatchewan region. And it is from that role that he wants to contribute to the health and sustainable growth of our industries by advocating for them though the Fort Saskatchewan & Lamont County Chamber of Commerce.
Dividing his time between family, work and the gym, Mikael says one day he hopes to put some more miles on one of his motorcycles again (time permitting).
