Bryan Bauemler Bryan’s All In on Home Network

Bryan doesn’t believe he’s put in an honest day’s work unless he gets his hands dirty. A natural-born teacher, the Gemini-award winning host has been educating and entertaining viewers across Canada and the US since 2007. His legacy of hit shows includes Disaster DIY, Canada’s Handyman Challenge, Leave it to Bryan, House of Bryan, Bryan Inc., Island of Bryan, Renovation Resort, and most recently Bryan’s All In – all available to stream now on STACKTV. Bryan’s quick wit and easy-going personality have made him a huge hit with viewers on all of his home renovation shows.

Learning valuable tricks of the trade from his father, a meticulous aircraft engineer, Bryan spent his childhood summers building his family’s cottage from the ground up. After earning a dual degree in Political Science and Business, Bryan headed towards a career in practicing law. Realizing he’d rather be renovating than being chained to a desk, his innate passion for building took over and he traded in his tie for a tool belt and founded Baeumler Quality Construction.

A few kids and number of hit TV shows later, Bryan continues to tackle home renovation projects, be the spokesperson for numerous products and expand his growing businesses to include Baeumler Approved and Baeumler Custom Cabinetry. Bryan’s next adventure has him and wife Sarah tackling new challenges in Building Baeumler, premiering in 2025 on Home Network. For more information about Bryan, visit bryanbaeumler.com.

Katie Osmond Partner , Alair Homes Calgary

Katie's journey is characterized by a balanced mix of family responsibilities and professional ambitions. She joined the Alair home office team as an Accounting Administrator in 2018. As a devoted mother of three, her entry into the construction industry followed a less conventional route. Having previously owned and operated a utility company, she deliberately chose a career that allowed her the flexibility to pursue her entrepreneurial goals while prioritizing her family life. This delicate balance has enabled her to maintain her identity, remain committed to personal growth, and be engaged in her children's lives.

Alair Calgary, a company dedicated to crafting beautiful things and committed to being the best to work with, serves as inspiration for Katie. She finds motivation in her surroundings, with a passion for hockey, an appreciation for the outdoors, and the vibrant energy of Calgary and its neighboring communities. While Katie seeks personal success in her partnership journey, her vision extends to contributing to the collective success of the team, embodying a narrative of resilience, purpose, and a commitment to collaborative growth.

Glen Hubick Countryside Tree Farms and Land

Glen Hubick’s 35-year career in horticulture, landscape design, and architecture can be divided into two distinct chapters.

In the first chapter, Glen focused on landscape design and architecture, working on projects ranging from reclamation efforts in the Alberta oil sands to residential and commercial landscaping across Alberta, British Columbia, and the United States. His work earned numerous provincial and national awards in Canada, highlighting his expertise and innovation in the field.

However, his passion for plants—especially trees—was rooted in his upbringing on a ranch in Saskatchewan. This deep connection to nature led him to embark on a second chapter, returning to school to study horticulture. He shifted his focus on tree propagation and genetics seed collection in Alberta to grafting, with a particular emphasis on developing resilient and beautiful trees suited to the unique Chinook climate of southern Alberta.
