About Chris
Board Advisor & Rotarian
Why me? Simple. I'm honest and transparent, and I bring an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design from Fanshawe College and an Honours Diploma in Sales and Marketing from Westervelt College. Along the way, I've represented Apple, Amazon, Google, HP, and Epson as a brand ambassador and merchandiser, and spent nearly a decade in telecom before turning to the web. The result is a studio where the person quoting the work, designing the brand, writing the code, and answering the phone is typically the same person: me. I've done this full time for almost 10 years, and I've been building websites since 1998, so I've seen most of what can possibly go wrong.
Outside of client work, I’ve spent ten years with Rotary, serving in clubs in Red Deer East, Nisku-Leduc and Sherwood Park. Much of that time went into club administration, communications and meeting technology, which mostly meant keeping things organized so that members could attend in-person and remotely, so that everyone, whether they were in the room or joining from home, felt part of the same meeting.
My wife and I attend Freedom Centre Church, where we’ve helped run a Food Bank depot in northeast Edmonton for almost two years. Each week we see what it takes to serve people well: volunteers who show up, systems that don’t get in the way, and clear communication so volunteers and families know where to go, when to arrive and what to expect once they walk through the door, even on the very busiest of days.
That work shapes how I approach the nonprofits, faith communities and small businesses I support. I understand the limited time, tight budgets and big hearts behind these organizations, and I build websites and tools that make their work easier, so they can spend more of their time and energy on the people they are called to serve.
