Alvin Dong

What are you known for professionally? What do you have a knack for?

I have a knack for being able to stay calm in circumstances that might rattle others; a high level of patience helps me keep a clear mind through these stressful times. This calm demeanor helps me to foster the confidence both peers and clients have in my ability to deliver results in even the most difficult circumstances.

What one event in your childhood had the greatest effect on your life?

I moved to Canada when I was 8 years old and was excited to embrace a new world of experiences and possibilities. I still remember seeing the drinking fountain at the airport and thinking to myself, “Clean drinking water is free?” Vancouver’s been home ever since. I love how it holds the perfect balance of urban life and natural beauty.

If you weren’t doing what you do today, what other job would you have?

I would be a video game designer by day, Bob Ross replica painter by night.
