Ministry Experience

Braden joined EMI Canada in 2011, going on his first EMI project trip to Haiti just over a year after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Over the years he has worn many hats, serving as a Project Leader, Intern Coordinator, and Communications Manager and contributing to the technical, operational, and relational aspects of EMI’s work. Braden’s international project work included visits to Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.

In 2024, Braden’s focus shifted to EMI’s domestic projects, where he continues to serve ministries in Canada as a Project Leader. Alongside his work at EMI, he also manages construction projects for other non-profit organizations in Alberta, providing a unique blend of knowledge and experience in design, construction, and non-profit operations.

Outside of work, Braden enjoys coaching his three kids in hockey, golfing with friends, and spending time with his wife Liz.

Family

Braden and his wife Liz have been married since August 2010. They have three young children - Asher, Maverick, and Avery - who are smart, funny and amazingly, incredibly, undeniably energetic.
