--- My name is Maurice Böhler , and I was born in Rheinfelden, Germany, in nineteen seventy-seven. I grew up in Steinen, a mid-sized town in the Black Forest region. My father was a master car mechanic with his own business, and my mother worked in our family’s nursery and flower shop. I have a younger brother and a sister. I attended public and high school in Steinen until grade ten, then began an apprenticeship as a mason. From a young age, I was involved in my family’s landscaping and nursery business. After completing my apprenticeship at nineteen, I worked in masonry and concrete forming and obtained my master’s degree in these fields in two thousand three. That same year, I moved to Canada and started a small business with one employee. Over the next twenty years, I expanded my company to handle commercial, industrial, and residential projects, including high-rise buildings and four new prisons in Kingston, Ontario. As president and owner, I managed up to eighty employees and multiple projects simultaneously, overcoming significant challenges and mastering the complexities of the concrete industry. Beyond my professional life, I have a strong passion for sports. I competed in wrestling and reached the German championship as a teenager. Later, I engaged in long-distance running and swimming, including crossing lakes. I also enjoy cooking and am an active hunter, pursuing big game like deer and moose. I’m fluent in German, English, and Spanish. I value education and continuous learning, love traveling, and am known for my problem-solving skills. Currently, I’m a part-owner of a meat business specializing in cured meats, a concrete forming business, and a landholding company. Looking to the future, I aspire to pursue a career in acting, believing that my physical looks and personality make me an excellent candidate. Despite my busy career, I live a happy and balanced life and remain very close with my family. ---
