  • Co-Founder, Principal
    Dip.Tech, B.Eng., P.Eng., LEED AP

    BC born and bred, Brian Maver earned his degree at BCIT and Lakehead University. His proudest professional moment came in 2006, when he and Dan Wicke founded WHM. His proudest personal moment? Meeting his future wife Wendy, who was a teaching assistant for her father (and Brian’s professor) in university. Off the clock, Brian, Wendy and their three children enjoy spending time skiing, boating, hiking, and exploring the rugged West Coast together.

  • Associate
    B.Sc

    Monica’s favourite aspect about WHM is the supportive atmosphere and that people celebrate personal and professional victories. “I’m lucky enough to call my colleagues friends, and that’s a big reason why coming to work is always enjoyable,” she says. A self-confessed ‘gym rat’ and hiker who hits the trails and works out whenever possible with her partner, she also enjoys slowing it down and sitting by the ocean for a coffee with her dog and daughter.

  • Structural Engineer
    EIT

    Jordan’s favourite thing about working at WHM is its open-door policy, which he says promotes more effective communication and project management, opportunities to learn from one another, and of course — fun! Outside of the office, Jordan is a figure-skating coach, and also enjoys running, cycling and cooking. Unlike many, he loves ALL aspects of the Vancouver weather. “That includes the rain,” he says. “I lived in California for a year and cannot tolerate the heat!”

    Born in Singapore, Daniel’s parents moved their family to Vancouver in 2003 to provide more opportunities for his education and eventual career. His off-the-clock activities include playing golf and soccer and he’s became a bit of a shutterbug, taking photos of his wife and rescue dog Luna the Lab-ernese while out exploring the city. “Vancouver’s got a little bit of everything for everyone,” he says. “The mountains, ocean, green spaces, and all kinds of great food.”

  • Technician

    Born and raised in Fort St. John, BC, Sophia came to Vancouver to attend drafting school and stayed after meeting her wife here. She cites the open and tolerant nature of people who live here and amount of year-round greenery as reasons why she now calls it home. When not at work, you can find her gaming and spending quality time with her wife, son and two black cats by the names of Hurricane and Guenhwyvar.

  • Administrative Assistant

    Born and raised in Vancouver, Samantha is the person who can be counted on to always keep projects in check and on point in the WHM bullpen. This self-confessed ‘cat-centric’ soul has two cats that share her home, but she also rescues and fosters as many animals as possible that can’t help themselves. Pastimes that keep her busy include gardening, snowboarding and riding her bike, and her favourite thing about Vancouver is the marine air.

  • Technician

    Originally from Tehran, Iran, Neda moved to Ottawa 13 years ago, where she earned a M.A.SC in Mechanical Engineering. She moved to Vancouver after seven years and fell in love with Vancouver’s beautiful beaches, breathtaking nature, and amazing autumn colours. She enjoys the friendly environment at WHM and looks forward to being more involved in planning fun activities with the Social Committee. Neda lives with her husband Majid and two-year-old daughter Delaris.

  • Proposal and Marketing Coordinator

    It’s WHM’s focus on promoting and maintaining a positive work-life balance that is one of the major reasons why Jules has embraced her role at WHM. She moved here in 2015 from Australia and had to adjust to the stretches of rainy winter weather, but quickly fell in love with the natural beauty. “I love that we’re so close to mountains and lakes and there are plenty of community activities to do all year round.”

  • Technician

    Born and raised in rural Ontario, Veronica has called Vancouver home for years but still can’t get over the majesty of the mountains. Off hours, you’ll find her and her partner Devin and dog Loki hiking, camping and exploring all corners of BC. “The West Coast is incredible in so many ways,” she says. “Having the ocean on one side and mountains on the other is a natural beauty you can’t find anywhere else in Canada.”
