Steve's Bio

I'm a accountant,

In my ealier years I went to North Vancouver High and specialized in basketball and sleeping.

After high school I dropped out of college and worked in a logging camp (with my father) for a couple of summers and then worked a succession of jobs starting with dishwashing (1 wk), lettercarrier (2 yrs), postal courier (1 yr), bakery (1 day), hospital laundry (1 summer), cab driver (1 yr p/t while at school).

I then quit working to concentrate on getting a degree from Simon Fraser University which I finished in 1986. Bachelor of Business Administration. Then I worked as a computer salesman (Paragon Computer/Doppler Computers (2 yrs), junior accountant (Vancouver Fancy Meats(fired 6 months), temp office worker (Weldwood Canada mail room (2 weeks).

I finally achieved a job I could keep in 1989 when I got a job as an accounts payable/payroll and jack of all other trades accountant at Betterest Vinyl Manufacturing (in Port Kells, Surrey, B.C.). It was a small friendly company with BIG financial problems (eventually going bankrupt two year later (1991).

I achieved my CMA accounting designation in 2001.
It's one of my major achievements in life.

My sister now has breast cancer. My sister lives in Melbourne, Australia and was planning her families trip of a lifetime to visit Canada again. She's had to cancel her plans and postpone a trip because she is undergoing radiation therapy this year (after already having a full breast removal/chemotherapy).

I'm afraid of losing my big sis, "Debbie" and would like to dream of being able to go and visit her this christmas.

I haven't seen her since my mother passed away in 2001 (in New Westminster, BC). I haven't been on any kind of holiday for years because of......
I need a break and to see my sister again!

Can anyone help me with my dream?
