New Member "Who Am I" talk

Brayden is sponsored by George Szczepski

Hello, my name is Brayden William Hooper. I was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, and grew up as the oldest of three children in a close family.
From a young age, I felt drawn to the sea and admired the discipline and service of the Royal Canadian Navy. I studied Business Administration and Marketing at Conestoga College in Ontario and later at university on Australia’s Gold Coast. On my way home, I backpacked through Southeast Asia, which deepened my interest in other cultures and people.
Today, I work as a mortgage broker with DLC. I joined the Navy to challenge myself, strengthen my leadership and technical skills, and learn areas such as engineering, navigation, and logistics. I also value the teamwork and strong bonds formed among sailors.
I am proud to wear the uniform and look forward to serving Canada, supporting humanitarian and peacekeeping efforts, and continuing to grow personally and professionally. Brayden William
