Name: Conan Ackert

What business or organization are you involved with? Total Restoration Services Inc.

What is your role with that organization? As an owner and manager of the North Okanagan/Shuswap branch I help provide property damage expert advise to homeowners and business owners that have experienced water, sewer or fire damage to their property.

What’s your favorite thing about living in the Okanagan? Enjoying this great place with our family.

If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would you choose and why? Jimmy Fallon, because I would believe there would be a lot of laughing going on.

What is your go-to happy place? On the floor with my kids jump attacking me.

What are you most proud of? My brother. He experienced a high-level spinal cord injury 11 years ago and has been an inspiration to me and my family.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Spending as much time playing like a kid with my kids; a trip to Europe cycling with my wife; snowboarding in Japan.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? Maybe not the weirdest but most frequent – Chicken liver at one of our great local Greek restaurants.

Latest book or movie? Moana, and it was awesome!

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received? My two kids.

If today were your last day, how would you spend it? With friends and family, maybe kicking a soccer ball around or something else outside, and for sure laughing.
