Introducing...

Andrew Westlund, President

Andrew Westlund's greatest aspiration is to make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of everyone who works at Apex. He encourages and inspires all staff to dream big, and set plans in motion to live the fullest life they can. He is tremendously thankful to have employees who motivate and inspire him in kind.

Andrew understands that it takes work to have fun. When not at the office or spending time with his wife and four children, Andrew plans 'adventures with purpose'. In recent years he has worked with orphans in Uganda and helped raise funds for water wells in Honduras, a place he'll visit early next year. To date Andrew has visited 29 countries, and enjoys combining his other interests of aviation, motorcross and long distance cycling while on these adventures. Such diverse interests are widely seen and encouraged throughout Apex, and the inspiration to follow them is truly demonstrated from the top down.

Dan Perrett, VP Sales

Dan Perrett is Apex's Vice President of Sales. When he's not managing the sales force, overseeing operations and implementing new strategies for Apex, Dan enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. If it's not dirt biking or mountain biking with his boys, he's coaching his sons and daughter in baseball or soccer. Also avid hikers and skiers, Dan and family spend many weekends and evenings on the North Shore mountains.

Dan is one of the original members of Apex, having joined the company in 1989, when this whole great adventure started. His career has grown along with Apex. He started out selling cellular phones with Andrew and has since been actively involved in the addition of divisions such as Home Security.

Edmund Lim, B.Comm., C.A., VP Finance

Edmund Lim is Apex's VP of Finance. While Edmund loves a balanced set of books just as much as the next financial expert, he is far from being the stereotypical accountant. Edmund gets very excited when you ask him about Apex because to him Apex is more than a company to work for, it represents a way of life. With Apex since 1994, he has seen much growth in the company and industry at large. Overseeing the Financial and Administrative aspects of Apex, Edmund enjoys the challenges presented with such wide-ranging responsibilities.

Married since 2001, when not at the office, Edmund and his wife enjoy being outdoors where they work on their yard and gardens. Recently, they have joined a softball league and have rediscovered their love of tennis.

James Vallance, Business Development Manager

James has been a part of Apex since 1996, and has worked in Sales, Store Management, as a Regional Manager and now as Apex's Business Development Manager. James is responsible for providing the resources, training and sytems necessary for a new sales rep, a veteran sales rep or a sales manager to succeed in the wireless industry. He enjoys the comraderie and life experiences acquired through Apex.

James was married in 2001 and recently added a new addition to his family, a baby boy.

James grew up playing all sorts of competitive sports, and spends much of his free time partipitating in numerous outdoor recreational activities, taking university courses, and spending time with the family. James has been busy this past year competing and finishing Ironman Canada 2005 triathlon, while building his dream home in Abbotsford.

Doug McLean, Operations Manager

Doug has been with Apex since 1993, and has worked in sales, store management, administration and today manages Operations from Head Office. He enjoys being constantly challenged to grow and do better than the day before. Apex isn't just teaching him about business, but about life.

Doug was born in BC and has lived all across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver, but his most formative years were spent in Alberta. He has been married for twelve years and is a proud father to three boys. Raising kids successfully is a challenge that Doug relishes; every day gives him the opportunity to practice what he thinks he knows and the payback is immeasurable. Doug spends his free time playing poker, golf, and honouring his Albertan heritage by following the Edmonton Oilers.
