John Crook Email & Phone Number

Born in Winnipeg, our family moved to Victoria in 1965. I soon became involved with cars and other machinery. I repaired and painted cars through high school and college. Although starting in engineering, an Associate Degree in Business Administration was completed in 1975Along the way were a summer surveying for the forest service, a stint as a supervisor for Home oil and Esso in Vancouver, steel scrap yard worker, and maintenance at BC Forest Products. In 1976, I started as an Electrician, starting my own business in 1981 and forming Swiftsure Electric Ltd in 1989.Since starting, we've done everything from a new hotel ( Ramada ) Inn to streetlighting with up to 14 employees. An excellent troubleshooter, there's not much. that I haven't seen or worked on, and found solutions for. My approach to problem solving probably helped in achieving 7 years on Langford Council, mostly as Chair of Planning and Zoning, and as President of the Municipal association
