Personal
Before becoming an employment lawyer or a human rights lawyer, Fred grew up in a small farming community in the BC interior. Fred completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Calgary and then attended law school at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Fred returned to BC for articles and practice, beginning his career with a mid-sized Fraser Valley firm focusing on personal injury, general civil litigation and employment law. He has practiced exclusively in the areas of employment and human rights since his call to the bar in 2008 and worked only in employment litigation specialty firms since 2009.
Fred is an active member of the Vancouver lawyer community and serves in executive roles in the Canadian Bar Association BC Branch; on the board of the Lawyers’ Inn Society; and as a member of the Trial Lawyers’ Association of BC.
Last but most importantly, Fred is a dedicated family man and father to two young and active sons. Living on the North Shore, Fred and his family are constantly outdoors paddling and biking, or participating in soccer and little league. Fred is also a Scout leader which gives him more family time, great adventures, and a chance to enjoy his inner child.
