ECOSAFE - Key Persons
I was fortunate to experience the beauty and the resourcefulness of Mother Nature being born and brought up in Sri Lanka, a beautiful tropical Island. I always believe it is our duty to give back our best to protect and care for our nature so that future generations will be equally blessed to experience the goodness and beauty of Mother Nature just like we did. Working with EcoSafe not only gives me the opportunity to be a part of a great team but also gives me the opportunity to contribute to a sustainable future.

Before EcoSafe I was working in a high-volume distribution warehouse in the hydroponics industry. After the warehouse closed, I found myself looking for something more in a workplace. I was drawn to EcoSafe not only because of the warm, welcoming atmosphere but also because of everyone's dedication to sustainability and protecting Mother Nature!
Growing up on a small farm in South Langley, I was lucky to be raised amongst bountiful green spaces and had the ability to spend almost all my time in the great outdoors, being one with the plants and animals around me. I believe animals (and all living things) to be equal to human beings in value and necessity. I am a lover of all things green, and an outdoor enthusiast who off-roads/camps minimum once a month. Knowing I can disappear into the mountains, into total isolation and return home leaving no trace brings me untold amounts of joy. The ability to disconnect entirely and vanish into nature is a foreign concept in today's world, full of tech and instant gratification. Being in nature nurtures the soul in a way I believe is a necessity for everyone's well-being; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
After working for a construction company I decided it was time for me to move on to a career that would reward me in ways that are deeper than just financial. During my job search I came across EcoSafe, a local company who was not only making a difference in my local community but also the world. This struck a chord with me because real change will only come when everybody does their part. I love working for a company where I can see the real world results and know we are making a meaningful difference.
I grew up locally in surrey as part of a rather large family. I spent most of my time outdoors as a child enjoying all that our province has to offer. When not working behind the scenes in the warehouse I can be found at concerts, the tattoo shop, or spending quality time with my family, my wonderful girlfriend and my dog. Working at Ecosafe has provided me with a sense of pride knowing that we're helping to protect the environment for my future children to enjoy the same as I did.
Food loss and waste occur at each stage of the supply chain. The biggest proportion (about 37%) happens in the home.
