Its cold in Canada but EDC and OSTEC can warm me up

Just moved the family to Canada from California. People look at me strange getting in and out of my car because I have Cali license plates and they wonder...WHAT THE HECK are you doing in moving back to Canada in the middle of winter when you can be sitting on the beach in Californina. Simple answer...its home! And there is some cool (no pun intended) stuff going on in the British Columbia and Canadian tech sector.

I've been working with Robert Fine at the EDC (thats the Economic Development Commission of Canada) and the folks over at OSTEC to setup a conduit for technology companies in British Columbia and across Canada to integrate in to primary tech sectors around the world.

With the economy it is great timing since governments are sinking money into the system to get the engine rolling. We are still hashing things out and I would love to get some feed back on how we are best launch this program and have fun doing it. Tell me ...what do you think?

What's Next?

Well, I am a free man. I left SuppotSoft (on great terms) in December 2008, i felt a little like a caged animal there but it was a good time non the less. So, i am looking for my next gig - Not sure if I will start another company or not. But I an definitely interested in helping companies succeed.

As a side project I have teamed up with OSTEC, the EDC of Kelowna and the Canadian Government, to help Canadian Technology companies integrate and network in the Silicon Valley. More to come on that as it develops but we are calling it the Silicon Bridge.
