A Wealth of Experience in Plumbing and Heating

Les has been an integral part of the G.M. Mechanical family for over 20 years, joining our team in 2004. His journey in the plumbing and heating industry, however, started in the 80s, making him one of our most experienced technicians. As a journeyman plumber and gas fitter, Les brings a wealth of knowledge to every job, ensuring our clients receive the highest quality service for their plumbing needs in Okotoks and beyond.

Les's Passion for the Trade

What sets Les apart is his genuine enthusiasm for his work. When asked about his favourite aspect of the job, Les shared, "Being able to do something different every day." This love for variety and problem-solving is evident in his approach to each task, whether it's a routine plumbing service in Okotoks or a complex boiler repair in the Foothills region.

Les particularly enjoys the heating season, finding satisfaction in getting customers' furnaces back up and running. His expertise in this area has made him an invaluable asset to G.M. Mechanical, especially during the colder months when reliable heating is crucial for our clients.

Why G.M. Mechanical?

Les's loyalty to G.M. Mechanical is rooted in the company's unique position in the industry. He appreciates that we are "a family-run company that is just big enough that we get all different types of work and yet just small enough that everyone knows each other." This balance allows us to offer a wide range of plumbing and heating services in Okotoks while maintaining a close-knit team atmosphere.

Beyond the Toolbox: Les's Life Outside Work

When he's not providing exceptional plumbing services in Okotoks, Les enjoys:

  • Spending quality time with his grandchildren

  • Fishing in the beautiful Alberta outdoors

  • Hunting during the appropriate seasons

  • Volunteering with Beavers and Scouts alongside his grandkids

Les has called Turner Valley home for about 17 years, where he lives with his wife. As a proud father of 6 and grandfather to 9, Les's commitment to family values aligns perfectly with G.M. Mechanical's family-oriented approach to business.
