Top Integrator North America from VTScada

President | Senior Integrator
Cell: (403) 715-7666

Raised on the Southern Alberta Prairies, Kevin learned the value of hard work and efficiency early from working on the farm. From the farm moved into the Oil and Gas world as an apprentice Electrician in 1994, gaining his Journeyman and Red Seal in 1999 and eventually his Master’s in 2004. From there, Kevin partnered in an E/I company and eventually started his own which he sold in 2007.

Blackrock was born in 2010 with the foresight that there was a void in fit for purpose solutions at the field and corporate level. The company has grown to be one of the largest in Western Canada with the primary focus still being the same. Kevin has embraced the growth and facilitated it with the on boarding of several key personnel into ownership roles.
