My name is Johanne Couture, and I was born in Rouyn Noranda, PQ. My parents moved to Ottawa when I was two years old. That is where I grew up and went to school and college. My dad was a heavy machinery mechanic. He came home from work smelling like diesel. 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 that age. I was very much a daddy's girl, and he would take me on service calls on the weekends. I even had a matching company jacket with my name embroidered on the sleeve.
