Chris Starts His New Career

My nephew, Chris, started his new career today, studying under his father, Ken, to become a Trustee in Bankruptcy.  Chris obtained three university degrees, BSc from UBC, followed by Masters in Chemistry at UVic, and then last year an Education degree from UNB in Fredericton.  He then travelled across Canada last summer, returning to Vancouver from Fredericton, and this winter spent two months in Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam, touring around and visiting all the beaches he could.

While he was away he made the big career decision to join his father's business, and study to become a Trustee in Bankruptcy.  This involves successfully completing the Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional (CIRP) Qualification Program (CQP), and passing an Oral Board of Examination.  It takes approximately five years while working on the job.  Ken and the whole family are delighted with Chris' choice.

Chris has amazed us all by showing up for work on his first day dressed in a new suit he had made for him in Asia and getting a very smart hair cut.  Here he is - isn't he handsome?


Prior to this, Chris had long curly hair for over 15 years and we rarely saw him in a suit!  Such a big change - good for him for making these decisions.
