With over 15 years of restoration experience across residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects, Cole brings technical mastery, leadership, and a deep commitment to the industry. As an IICRC Triple Master — Master Water Restorer, Master Fire & Smoke Restorer, and Master Textile Cleaner — Cole holds one of the highest distinctions in the field. His expertise spans water and fire restoration, vehicle impact recovery, biohazard and trauma cleanup, hazardous materials response, and large-scale catastrophe (CAT) events.
Cole has been directly involved in some of Canada’s most significant disaster recovery efforts, including the 2011 Slave Lake wildfires, the 2013 Calgary/High River flooding, the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires, the 2020 Fort McMurray flooding, and the 2024 Jasper wildfires. These experiences not only tested his technical skills but also reinforced the importance of resilience, rapid response, and compassion when helping individuals and communities rebuild after devastating events.
In addition to fieldwork, Cole is qualified to deliver training recognized for Continuing Education (CE) credits for insurance professionals, helping bridge the gap between restoration and the insurance industry. This role allows Cole to share expertise, improve collaboration, and raise industry standards by equipping professionals with the insights needed to navigate complex restoration and claims processes.
Cole’s career also includes six years in Alberta’s oilfield construction sector, where he gained valuable experience in safety, teamwork, and problem-solving in high-demand environments. Complementing this, three years teaching abroad strengthened his leadership, communication, and adaptability — qualities he brings to mentoring teams, guiding clients, and delivering effective training.
Restoration is more than Cole’s profession — it’s his commitment to helping people and organizations recover, rebuild, and move forward. Whether in the field, the classroom, or the training room, Cole combines technical expertise with empathy, resilience, and a strong work ethic to deliver trusted solutions when they matter most.
