Early Life and Work
Don was born in Brandon on June 9, 1945, and has lived his entire life in the Riverdale RM. He attended Rivers Collegiate and Harrow School for his studies.

He looked into a variety of careers during the off-season, including Metal Industries, Somass Lumber Mill, and Heartland Livestock.
He has served in executive capacities for a number of institutions, including Keystone Agriculture Producers and the Brandon Co-Op Board.
Don’s dedication to civic engagement was demonstrated by his position as a Councillor for the R.M. of Daly.

A Love for Camping and Travel

Don was able to bring his imagination to life because to his interest for tinkering and making.
In addition to having a passion for building things, he also coached for the Rivers Jets and put a lot of effort into helping the neighbourhood.
