Adrian Strandberg

Adrian was born and mostly grew up in Calgary, AB, although him and his family spent several years overseas as well during his youth as his dad’s work brought their family to live in Nigeria, Libya, and Egypt. After years of back and forth, his family settled back down in Calgary, where Adrian finished high school and pursued an education in Business Administration at Ambrose University, while also competing with their Volleyball and Soccer teams in the ACAC.

Adrian spent his summers through university in construction landscaping as well as jr. estimating for a roofing company, where he got a taste for the construction industry. Shortly after graduating university, he joined the hospitality industry, where he realized a passion for serving his local community while working through several different positions before taking on a general manager role.

In the beginning of 2024, shortly after marrying his wife Marya, Adrian pursued a shift in his career and joined the EMCO Waterworks Management Development Program. During his time with EMCO he has been able to once again live out his passion for serving local communities, and he enjoys being part of a rich network of talented teammates within EMCO, a network that brought him out to join the Kelowna Waterworks Team in March 2025!

In his spare time, Adrian loves to get out and explore new places with his wife, play rec league sports, and get out golfing as much as possible in the summer!
