Vincent’s career in construction began at a young age, growing up as the son of a forward-thinking contractor. Raised by hardworking parents who were always striving for success, he learned early on that work had no designated days—when there was a job to do, it got done. During the late 1980s, when the recession made times tough, his family adapted by introducing the Duraform system in the foundation business, a method that quickly replaced conventional plywood forming. With limited work available, they had to find innovative ways to stay ahead.

At just 11 years old, Vincent took on his first summer job, helping his father with footings. Although he excelled academically in high school, he sought a career that combined both physical labor and strategic thinking. Already well-versed in construction, he pursued business management courses at 19 to complement his carpentry ticket. By 17, he was working full-time, and by 22, he was running his own crew, managing every aspect of the business. His family continued to lead the way in construction by specializing in ICF, an emerging concrete building technology. At 28, Vincent launched his first contracting business, purchasing his father’s equipment and running operations independently. However, his passion for the west and ranching led him to make a life-changing move in 2016.

Upon arriving in British Columbia that fall, Vincent founded Last Spike Construction Ltd., bringing with him extensive experience and custom equipment that set him apart from competitors. His efficiency, speed, and commitment to quality allowed him to take on challenging projects across the province, from Fernie to Vancouver Island. Known for working long hours and staying on-site until the job was done, he built a strong reputation in the industry. As his business thrived, Vincent sought a new challenge and established Last Spike Trailer Sales, becoming the first dealer to introduce galvanized trailers to the western market. Staying true to his family’s tradition of innovation, he recognized the need for longer-lasting trailers at a time when most required frequent repainting.
