Preet is also the past Treasurer for Kids Up Front Edmonton, a local charity whose sole purposes is to create opportunities and life-changing experiences for children, youth and families facing financial and/or social barriers by providing event tickets, that would otherwise go unused.

When Preet isn’t working, he is spending as much time as he can with his two young children and wife, while trying to balance all the sports he loves to watch, including hockey, basketball, football, tennis and golf. Speaking of golf, he is yet to beat his Partner, Jon, in a round. When the time comes, he is confident that his persistence to practicing putting and chipping, will give him the edge to finally beat him. After all, competition is healthy, it is the backbone of the Alberta business spirit.
