About Us

Pete Van't Hoff is the fourth of five sons given to John and Niesje Van't Hoff. In the fall of 1995 he left the farm and attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and gained a diploma in Engineering Design and Drafting Technology, a Nationally Accredited Program.  Pete also holds certification with the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professional of Alberta.  Upon graduation he gained employment with SNC Lavalin Inc. where he was employed as a Junior Piping Designer and held that position for the following three and a half years.  He then proceeded to Bantrel Inc. where he established himself as an intermediate piping designer constantly taking on as much responsibility as possible.  After eighteen months with Bantrel, an opportunity presented itself with Blue Falls Manufacturing Ltd. The makers of Arctic Spas.  He took on the role of CAD Dept. Manager where he was asked to find, use and maintain a 3d modeling software that would meet the needs of the ownership group.  So he found Autodesk Inventor, a three-dimensional manufacturing software and has been successfully using it to overcome the design challenges that Arctic has to offer.  During his time with Arctic Spas, Pete was also given the opportunity to out source his services to other companies which in turn and most recently has led him to start is own company: Keystone 3D Technical Services.

In 2001 Pete married his lovely wife Cheryl and in line with his move to Arctic Spas was able to move out of the city and back to the farm where they now raise their five children.  It is this farming life that Pete grew up in that taught him the value of a hard day's work and that gave him the problem solving skills that have helped him to succeed in this industry.  And by the grace of God he and his wife wish to give this same kind of life to their own children.
