The Darcy Powlik Story
I live on an acreage just a few miles outside of Thorsby, Alberta – the town where I was born and raised. The Powlik’s have lived in the community now for five generations. My familiarity with the area (covering Edmonton, Leduc, Wetaskiwin, Parkland, and Brazeau Counties) and rural background provides me with the unique skillset needed when helping you buy or sell.
A Business Background That Benefits You
As a graduate of NAIT’s Business Administration program, I have diverse business knowledge. I owned three NAPA auto parts stores in Thorsby, Wetaskiwin and Breton and eventually sold them in 2006 to Dash Distributors. In 2003, I joined RE/MAX Leduc and have never looked back. Right away I knew this was the career for me. My business experience and life path have given me tons of knowledge in a wide variety of areas that I can pass on to my clients.
Love for Sports
My love for sports is something I’m proud to share with my children. Through Brandon, Carson and Kaylyn’s hockey and fastball involvement we travelled from Vancouver to Halifax, made a tremendous group of friends and enough memories to last a lifetime. Sharon and I are lucky to still watch the kids play in hockey and ball tournaments. Team Roping has now become a big part of our life with the kids and I competing at many rodeos and jackpots. We are also happy to sponsor many of these events.
Family Legacy Rooted in Thorsby
I’ve been fortunate to help all of my children buy their homes in Thorsby and surrounding area. My son Brandon now works with me and lives on a farm outside of Thorsby with his wife Sarah who is a Registered Nurse. They now have two sons Kade and Lane. Before becoming licensed in Real Estate and working with me Brandon was a Carpenter for over ten years, completing his Journeyman and Red Seal Certificate at NAIT. His knowledge of home construction is a huge asset to providing great service.
We have always been huge contributors to the Stollery Children’s Hospital and it came full circle when Brandon and Sarah’s first son, Kade needed open heart surgery at five days old. We couldn’t be more thankful for what the Stollery has done for our family and we continue to contribute from every deal we do.
My other son Carson is an Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering Technologist, and lives in Calmar with his wife Lauren who works as a Journalist. Carson and Lauren have one son named Chandler. My Daughter Kaylyn lives near Thorsby and is a teacher at Thorsby Jr./Sr. High school.
My wife of over 35 years, Sharon has been a big part of my success. She took care of things when I was working and helps with community events. She taught Pre-school in Thorsby for many years. We can’t go very far before someone recognizes “Mrs. Powlik”. Sharon is very active in our community and volunteers at many events.
Committed to Community – A Lifetime of Giving Back
Thorsby is my home and I am actively involved and passionate about making it an even better community to live in. Since 1986, I have supported the Thorsby 4-H Multi Club purchasing steers every year also sponsoring many awards, teams, associations, and events.
Community events were always important to us and I have spent a lifetime being involved in making things better. I started coaching hockey in 1996 and still remain very active in supporting and sponsoring teams. Many years ago I received the first NHLPA Goals and Dreams Grant in Alberta. I was also successful in attaining many other grants which were instrumental in improving our local hockey and agriculture arenas.
With every transaction I am involved in I support the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and have become one of RE/MAX’s top Contributing Agents in Canada. In 2010 I was recognized for my efforts as a coach and volunteer and was awarded The Provincial Volunteer Recognition Award by the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. I am very proud of that award and appreciate their recognition of my efforts.
