Ryan comes to LSW Lighting with decades worth of experience at the manufacturing and contractor levels in the electrical field.

Supplementing his work experience, is several Philips Lighting Certifications, including courses in: Lighting Theory, Ballasts and other advanced lighting technology courses.

Ryan was also the first person in Canada to achieve the Philips Lighting LED certification.

Ryan came to find his passion in lighting, as a teenager, when he read a pamphlet about lighting technologies.

This led to his discovery that lighting can be used to positively influence the everyday lives of people. And since that moment, he has strived to achieve that ideal for his customers.

Jeff Nicholson. Local Style Icon. Car Guy. Sun Worshipper.

-Apprentice Millionaire. Champion. Crooner?

Cars! If you ever need to get Jeff’s attention, start talking about the glorious beasts of the road. The man is well on his way to filling an entire warehouse of collectible cars.

Now that you know a little bit about Jeff’s passion, you should know that he has worked a considerable amount of time in the electrical industry (almost 3 decades!), and he has volunteered his time to be a community leader – as a city champion football coach.

Faithful, Inquisitive, Righteous, Defender of All.
Friend of Aslan.

Have you ever met someone who gives the impression that they have been on this Earth more than a few times? Courtney is such a person. Her presence is a calm one, but you get the sense that under the peaceful exterior she is brewing up some good magic. If you have watched her product videos, you will understand. We suspect that she walked out of a storybook into the offices of LSW.

Speaking of Bios, ask Matt about Bios Lighting by Leviton! Check back later for his actual Bio

High Flyer, Speed Demon, Supermom
Friend to Animals, Closet Drywaller, Trailblazer.

Hilary is a force of something (nature, will, friction), We are not sure. But the force is within her and its to be recognized. Hilary speaks with a voice of confidence, in every area of her life. Does that come from being a mom? Maybe. But it also comes from knowing her stuff. She has described herself as a lover of learning, which means she is going to get better and better. Her passion knows no bounds, just like a Supermom. If she isn’t already an expert, we think she would be excellent at archery.

Tom is always expanding on his education and training to provide the very best for his customers.
Recently he has been working on interpreting photometry and using lighting software.
He has been factory trained by most of our key lighting manufacturers and isn’t stopping there. He hopes to compliment his lighting education by completing the various IES courses that are available.

Hey, we are working on it. Come back!

She is new. Let us get back to you once we know what she is like. Meanwhile, give her a call and say hi!

Mike was one of the original Advantage Lighting team members before they joined forces with Focus Lighting Agencies to become LSW Lighting in Nov of 2012. Being part of the Project Co-ordinator team, Mike is involved in all aspects of project completion.

In Mike’s spare time he can be found cleaning up at a poker game, or making plans for lighting Downtown Edmonton to resemble the Las Vegas Strip

Songwriter, Family Man, Golden Retriever?
Globe-trotter, Guitar God Apprentice, Family Man.
When talking to Chris, you soon realize that his family means everything. He and his wife have 5 kids. FIVE! When not at work, Chris can be found spending time with them, and jamming on his guitar – chasing the audacious goal of being a shred artist. When asked what words describe him, Chris chose the following adjectives – loyal, dependable, and creative. Bet you $10 that you will find a tennis ball in his desk. He is definitely part Golden Retriever. Noodle On Chris!

"A blank page of canvas". Her favourite!

Courtney Canfield – Bibliophile | Chelsea Girl | “Yoginear”

Fulcrum | Caretaker | The Lady of the Lake

There is a great sense of balance about Courtney. So much so, that we suspect she would be a great asset to any professional tug o’ war team. She is calm, focused, and patient. Courtney has an eye (2 of them) that is trained to see differently, and we plan on making great use of her unique perspective and experience. And if you want to know where you could find her soul after our working hours, my guess is wandering through the portrait gallery of MoMA.

We are growing faster than we can type. Check back Won't you?

Cayley has been with LSW Lighting since it was formed in November of 2012. As a Quotations/CSR team member she uses her 25+ years of customer service experience daily.
Cayley has a remarkable talent for keeping herself and the customer calm and happy. This might have something to do with her love of life and laughter. Her “joie de vivre” is indeed infectious.
In her spare time, Cayley can be found outdoors playing golf, slo-pitch, camping, or playing with her incredible dog Jackson! (Although we are not sure why, Dean often refers to him as Half Ton)

A past life Egyptian prince.

Yehia is a man to watch out for. Talk about a boy on fire. Yehia is hungry, and not just for his father’s delicious cooking. He is someone we should expect great things from in Calgary. Self described as strong, loyal, powerful, generous, kind, passionate and imaginative. He has all the qualities of a conquering hero. Perhaps Yehia, you could use some of these qualities to help the marine life of Canada. The lighting industry is known for their love of turtles, and is working on helping them survive. Is there marine life in Calgary?

Randene has been with LSW Lighting Lighting since November of 2012. As the Office Administrator, she gets to use her natural sleuthing abilities to reconcile accounting discrepancies.

Outside of the office she spends time with her dog and stays centered by doing yoga. Not one to idle away her day, Randene follows the Dionysian attitude “Just Do It” (made famous by a certain sportswear company).
