Jim has been the driving force behind RMS. He has directed the development of services and employee training programs as well as developed customer quality assurance standards. He primarily implements the corporate marketing program while overseeing day-to-day operations. Jim will be responsible for the expansion program that will see RMS offices established in major centres across North America.

Forrest Shell
Forrest joined RMS in 2016 as a Junior Technician while undertaking his BSc in Biology at the University of Alberta, and he's been with us ever since. A self-starter, he previously owned and operated his own landscaping company, where he worked from rough to final grade on newly-developed houses and built his knowledge of proper tools, equipment, and machinery.
Forrest is enthusiastic and hard-working, and when he's not at work for us he enjoys a range of team and individual sports from archery to muay thai.
