In a world frothing with technology certifications and hype, Terry remains minimally and sceptically lettered, holding a two year diploma in Microsoft AD network support with a graduate average of 96% and three certificates of achievement, under-pinned with designations such as A+, Net+ and MCSA among others. He is currently pursuing a MA with a major in professional communications, sub-specialized to international and intercultural communications. With over 23 years in business servicing enterprise class clients such as ICBC and BC Buildings Corp., Terry can point to a wealth of achievement in support of his qualifications. As a gifted innovator, published technical author and entrepreneur with a non-linear global approach, he is the visionary of the team responsible for conceptualization.

    Alexandra holds a Masters of Arts degree (linguistics) from the prestigious Moscow State University, following in the footsteps of parental achievements such Ph.D. (Math), Masters of Physics and Biochemistry. She has long list of IT certifications including CISSP and GIAC, with a specialization in Cisco technology applied with over ten years of experience in support of large enterprise and carrier class data/voice high up-time WAN architectures.
