Wade is a local boy, growing up in Sherwood Park. For twenty-five years he has coached local sports including basketball, hockey, running, and baseball. His coaching has taken place in a variety of venues: school sports, camp settings, and of course his own kid’s sports teams. For eight years, Wade also directed a drop-in centre for skateboarders and bmx’ers.

Vocationally Wade has worked as a local pastor specializing in the area of family, kids, youth, and young adults. He is married to his high school sweetheart, and they have three children. 

Leanne has grown up in Sherwood Park and she acquired her Bachelor of  Commerce from the U of A.  She loved playing school sports growing up, especially volleyball.  Leanne likes to hike, play tennis, and mountain bike.  She is thankful her husband also loves these things and reminds her to get  out and do these things, otherwise she  could also end up reading the  day away.  

Leanne and her husband have two kids.  Leanne loves to meet new people, see people connected to a healthy community where they can grow and be supported.
