About Me:

Hi there!

I am one of the 'masterminds' behind this site - it was actually inspired by the mastermind group I belong to (more info).

I'm currently in charge of keeping the team developing our sites and projects (like this one; see a list below) focused, promoting our sites and cross-pollinating projects with other business owners, and doing some project management and lead development for a third party (yes, apparently if you offer me enough money I will manage web development for clients). In addition, I am helping to make sure The Women's Pages (www.thewomenspages.ca) gets to the printer smoothly, from a behind the scenes perspective.

Apparently because I needed more to do with my life, we have added a monthly networking/seminar event series to the BusinessPartnerships.ca offerings, and you can find out more about it at businesspartnerships.ca/sessions

If you are in the Toronto area, you should come out. I'm a foodie, so you know I'd pick a place with fab food, and great atmosphere, and David, who is arranging the details of the event, is fantastic at making sure everyone has a good time.

I look forward to "meeting" you and interacting with you in the discussion areas.

    Extended Profile

    Wow, I finally have enough free time to sit down and add a few details!


    Me!

    Now, let's see, like everyone else, I never know what to write in these things. Added to that, I get to see the logs from the site and I have a very solid idea of what search terms brings people to the site and to specific pages, so I know that people are ending up here because they typed in my name. I am assuming that they are people I went to school with, or who are staring at my business card trying to remember where they met me and who the hell I am, as opposed to say, stalkers.

    Anyway, I am one of the directors of pixcode Inc. - a web development company in Toronto that shifted its focus from doing work for clients to managing its own properties. At that point we finished up a rather hectic project for the government, and decided that there has to be something more to life than writing proposals and chasing deadlines.

    We still take on the odd client - usually based on how much we think working with them is going to be fun and not a headache. It's really nice to be in that position. Some of the cool client-related things we have done lately have been with the Dominion Institute. They generally have cool things to accomplish and it's usually something new.

    Current/recent projects (ours and clients) include:

  • NaturalHealthcare.ca;

  • Twenty-Twenty.ca;

  • TheWomensPages.ca;

  • The Canada Events Calendar: CanadaEventsCalendar.ca;

  • and this one: BusinessPartnerships.ca
  • If you are looking for information about web development and are looking at hiring a team, we've got some good foundational articles about what to look for when you select a company at www.pixcode.com/library and on www.AllAboutBusiness.ca.

    I also try to remember to share my Big List of Marketing Dates as well as some other key resources on this site, and they can be found at www.businesspartnerships.ca/highlights.

    I'm pretty busy these days with the different projects and the other demands on my time, but I love meeting new people. If you get a chance to come out to the networking/seminar series, be sure to come over and talk to me. You can also drop me a note via the personal message function.

    All the best!
