Wes Martyn began his formal training in 2004 at the Ontario Masonry Training Centre and earned his “Red Seal” certification in March 2007. He got his start in masonry working at a large landscape company (The Beach Gardener) in 2002 in Toronto.
"I worked in the stone division under Evan Widmer and gained experience with wide varieties of stonework. I found adjusting to bricklaying techniques challenging in the Basic course. It made me realize the diversity within the masonry trade."
After having completed all three levels in only 3 years and writing his certification of qualification exam on the last day of his advanced class, Wes started masonry and “…hopes to grow slowly, and maintain an artisan level of brickwork and stonework. In the future I'd like to bring a couple apprentices up through the company. I'm grateful for my experiences at the Training Centre, and it's good that we are standardizing the trade."
Wes now lives in Beeton, Ontario in a masonry century home. As OMTC's 2006/2007 Outstanding Achiever, we congratulate Wes on his hard work and determination and wish all the best in his career and future endeavours.
