Simon works in concrete lifting at Bell, where two crews recently repaired 15-20 driveways and walkways at a condo development in Airdrie. He got into the field through a friend, Adam, and plays guitar and poker in his spare time.

Try and get loosey-goosey. I feel like a movie star. I'm Simon and I work for the concrete lifting division at Bell. Hello, my name is Simon. I like to do drawings. And we specialise in lifting concrete and void filling. Something that people might not know about me is I play guitar, electric and acoustic guitar. So, and I've done that for about 15 years. I love working with the people that we have here. I feel like they've taken a lot of time and care about who they pick and the type of people that they pick. And then together, that means that you end up working with some great people, you know. One of my favorite projects that I've done for Beyond is, it was a condo development out in Airdrie actually, and there was 2 trucks, 2 people on each crew, and it was a huge job. And yeah, 2 teams together and we'd managed to crash out, you know, like 15, 20 driveways and walkways. So pretty, pretty incredible work. I got into concrete lifting, the concrete lifting field, because of someone that I know called Adam. And Adam is our technical sales manager here, and I knew him outside of this before I came to Canada. And then essentially, as soon as I came here, I was waiting for a call from him to say we're ready to go. We need you. So that was how I got into concrete lifting. Oh yeah, so besides guitar, I play a lot of poker. I play it recreationally with friends, but I also like to attend casinos, and I play a lot of cash games. Something that I've been doing now for a very, very long time. Thankfully still profitable. So, well, you're a natural behind the camera, I'll give you that. Fist bump. Thank you.
