John is the one who pulls everything together.
John has been able to develop the skill of staying calm and composed when things are getting hectic, which is a useful trait to have in many careers. He started coding as a teenager on a glitchy Commodore64 and then started hand coding websites when you still needed to dial in to connect on a modem. This hobby became a profession where he has become a capable and experienced coder. He has a BSc. in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology from the University of Calgary and a Web Development Certificate from SAIT. How do these two seemingly different lines of education work together? Problem solving, research and following the right path to get the knowledge needed to complete a task.
The life challenges he has also faced are similar to Randy, this includes two bouts of cancer, recently of the Acoustic Neuroma flavour (a brain tumour on the auditory nerve). Knowing this he is making the most of what is afforded to him. He is just as likely to be coding at 3am because of a AHA moment or spending the day exploring the countryside with his daughter.

A Design & Development Process You'll Love
As businesses mature, they realize that the "beautiful" aspect of a modern website lies in its ability to convert leads. It's one of the reasons some people consider the Uber and Apple websites to be "plain". They are clutter-free. And they work. Adding every available module into page-specific custom templates doesn't help conversions. They introduce barriers to conversion and reduce trust.A minimalist, business-positive approach is to create a minimum number of templates and then flow content into them at the page creation stage.
