Meeting new people, the friends you meet here.
Dislike about Finley’s?
The staff.. hahahaha.. It’s a job and it takes me away from family life. For Tanya and I, it is 60-70 hour weeks. It makes family difficult.
Life philosophy?
Luck is 95% hard work. Dream big, work hard and have a beer.
I tend to have good luck! For example, the 1st fish I caught was a 24 ½ lb. salmon. I was 4 years old.
Tanya, cs always doing what she can to make Nelson a better place. She is an inspiration to us all.

Like about Finley’s?
Everyone is welcome. We have created a family feel and we now have a license that permits minors to enter until 9 pm. I love seeing the transformation that Brent and I and all our staff have worked so hard to establish.

Some people can’t let go of stereotypes. I hope to get all of Nelson in here to see the transformation to the place!

A good work ethic opens more doors than anything else.
