I woke up this morning to a Google Alert from my friend Arlin Sorensen, the founder of Heartland Tech Groups (HTG).  Thanks Arlin for the wonderful compliments and sound vote of confidence in my pursuit to help Information Technology Professionals, Calgary business and small business worldwide understand how they can leverage Social Media to do great things online.

It is great for the potential opportunity to be the HTG Social Media dude.

Also good luck to North Battleford Computer Specialist, Brad Kowerchuk who will be taking my place on the HTG Advisory Council.

With Brad’s appointment, we bid farewell to Stuart Crawford who has served on the advisory council since its inception a few years ago. Stuart was part of HTG3 before moving to help us begin our first international group in Canada, where he facilitated HTG10 for a year and a half. Stuart has a passion to help people, and caught the Go Giver bug in ways that became contagious. He leaves us to pursue his passion around social media and the web. He is consulting for businesses in his hometown of Calgary and around the globe as he serves people and their desire to learn how to leverage the communication tools of the 21st century. Thank you Stuart for your hard work and contributions to helping HTG become what it is today.

IronOak IT went in to First Lutheran and took over their IT support for me when I simply couldn’t serve them any longer.  Plus, my entire focus is now on Calgary Social Media Consulting and not in Information Technology, techy stuff and desire to do IT support was simply gone.  There were a number of issues at First Lutheran that were simply not getting looked after because I couldn’t make the time plus my desire to be an IT guy was simply gone.  IronOak IT came in and just took care of them in a professional manner but with an approach that won the hearts of the staff in this Southwest Calgary Church.

Thanks Bonnie and Randy for your compliments on Biznik.

Givers Gain, and Stuart is definitely a “giver.” Your start-up company will benefit from his valuable business technology experience. Stuart’s broad understanding and developed network of entrepreneurs is an asset. Small Business owners are likely to experience long-term growth as a result of his mindset and determination to see his clients succeed.

IronOak offers great small business computer support in Calgary.  They have the tools needed to get the job done but lack the complexities you may find with other firms.  They simply just take care of you and your business.
