My mother jokes that I spent too much time crawling around his work boots as a toddler, and that’s why diesel runs through my veins. I have always loved trucks. My dad had worked in a truck dealership at one point when I was 5 or 6, and a picture of me sitting in the driver’s seat of a customer’s truck left a lasting impression on me at tha ..read more

My name is Richard Hughes, and I was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, in March of 1984. I grew up with my parents and younger sister on our dairy farm west of Wetaskiwin. My parents owned two quarter sections of land where they grew crops, and they rented another two-quarters for pasture. On the farm, I learned the value and rewards of hard work. I also developed a deep love of the land, equipment and livestock. One of my first memories is being in the barn helping Dad feed and milk our one hundred cows.
