In 1972 Wolf graduated with honors from Sydney Technical College in Australia. Wolf began his welding career with Hawker de Haviland’s boat division. There he welded aluminum hulls, assembled floors and inside stiffeners for boats. Wolf returned to Canada in late 1973 and started work with Wilock Trucks, welding aluminum fuel transport and storage containers

Wolf expanded his skills and knowledge of marine design, construction and repair over the next seven years working for BC Packers (at Trite Rd. and managing the Namu Welding & Repair Shop). He repaired and fabricated masts, poles, Seine skiffs, Herring skiffs, Gill Netters, Seine & Gill Net drums, fuel tanks, bow rollers, exhaust systems, etc..

At West Coast Manly Shipyards (a subdivision of Rivtow), Wolf welded on the James Sinclair, a 137 ft., aluminum fisheries vessel. His quality workmanship and efficient work habits moved him to the Marine Hatches & Door Shop. There, as a CWB certified aluminum welder, he fabricated and designed hatches and water tight bulkhead doors for a total of 7 years.

In 1988, Wolf needed a change of life style and moved to Vancouver Island, There, he worked for Daigle Marine Ltd. for 6 1/2 years as foreman and CWB Welding Supervisor, fabricating and designing boats 16' to 36' and a variety of aluminum marine products.
