In the summer of 2019 Manfred was invited for a cup of coffee and a tour of YFC Winnipeg by a friend from church (YFC Winnipeg’s incoming Executive Director, Cliff Heide). During the tour, Cliff mentioned YFC was in need of a maintenance person, and Manfred was hooked! Manfred has always loved fixing and maintaining, so he looks at caring for YFC and his home church building just down the street as “playing in the sandbox”. 

Manfred and his wife, Daile, have 4 children and 3 grandchildren, and love spending time with their family!
