Favourite thing about your job: For me it is all about people. I love having the opportunity to work with a very fun and talented team knowing that, together, we help clients market their businesses better. I enjoy developing strong relationships with our clients, finding creative solutions to challenges and seeing results.
What is your favourite restaurant? Katana in Langley is definitely one of my favourites. I enjoy the ambience, food and show when the Teppan-yaki is going on in front of you.
What do you like to do when you’re not working? I love spending time with my kids and wife building memories together. We really enjoy the outdoors so, depending on weather and seasons, we go hiking one of the local peaks (Mt Cheam was a total highlight last year), bike riding along the Fraser river, camping or skiing.

Favourite thing about my job: I love seeing the 'before & after's' - super cool to see how we can help a company improve and better their business results.
What has travelling taught me? It's taught me respect for other cultures and empathy for people. The best thing - it's introduced me to so many amazing people that I still keep in touch with. Some people, that I met 14 years ago in Portugal, I still catch up with in London every time I'm there!
What kinds of things really make me laugh? My niece and nephews make me laugh most often with what they do and say. On the rare occasion that my brothers start to giggle (I mean that is really rare), then I laugh long and hard! I love my family :).
Dillon enjoys the union between marketing and technology. He loves to create work that captures attention. Whether it's producing a website or designing an email campaign, translating his interests into value for clients is his passion.
Favourite thing about your job: What I love most about my job is that I am able to do many different things that contribute to one goal. Social media, content creation, front end development; each one of these tasks is unique, which brings diversity to my job, but also allows me to strive for the same goal of helping the client's business grow.
Why do you enjoy rock climbing? Rock climbing is great because it is both a mental and physical challenge. It helps to stay fit while forcing you to problem solve, plan routes, moves, and maneuvers.
If you had to have a pet: dog or cat? Dog, no question. Dogs offer great companionship and, throughout history, have proven to be a great support to human beings in general. Whether they are herding sheep or helping us to hunt, they are extremely useful and offer utilitarian value. But even if they aren't used for these things, they are awesome to just play with in a park. I can't say that about cats.

What is your favourite way to spend a Saturday?: Saturday is definitely catch-up-on-chores day, but if I could I would rather take my wife and two young daughters to Crescent Beach. We build sand castles, splash around, and end the day with fish and chips and ice cream. Family time is precious!
What fast food restaurant would you work for? McDonalds! I actually worked there when I was in high school and it taught me a lot about listening to the customer, how procedures and routine can produce consistent products, and what the inside of a Grimace costume smells like.

Favourite thing about your job: Writing and getting to learn new things every day. Ever since the third grade, I’ve always dreamed about having a career in writing, so getting to spend time writing every day is huge for me. I’m also extremely curious by nature, so I love the fact that there’s always something new to learn in the vast world of digital marketing.
If you could have any superpower, what would you choose? It’s a toss up between teleportation and the ability to time travel. Being able to teleport would mean being able to travel and see the world without spending a dime. But, on the other hand, having the ability to time travel would mean being able to read a thousand lifetimes of books, and I don’t know if anything in the world could be better than that.
What do you love about living in the Fraser Valley: Living in a place where you have the best of both urban and nature is amazing. There is always something to do, whether it’s going for a hike to explore the woods or seeing the latest movies with friends. Life is never really boring. Plus, I’ve always been a bit of a pluviophile, so it doesn’t get any better than living on the edge of a rainforest.

It’s a great feeling when you get to leave work satisfied, knowing that you’re more knowledgeable about the industry than you were the day before. That learning stems from the incredible team at FirstPage and their willingness to invest in people development. The support and encouragement that I feel when I’m at work is unparalleled.
What drives you about long distance running? It allows me to see how far I can push myself both physically and mentally. Long distance running has taught me a lot about my stamina and perseverance. The only person I am competing against is myself and I like that.
As you have previously owned both a dog and a cat, what other animal would you own? A Grizzly Bear (hear me out).It would have to be one of those unique situations where it was a rescued cub that was incapable of surviving in the wild. Assuming that I had a big enough property and enough time to properly raise it, I would do it in a heartbeat. Believe it or not, there are people out there that have Grizzly Bears. It’s a bit of a stretch, but one can dream.

She’s passionate about effective communications, engaging social media, and content writing that tells a story.

What is your favorite pastime? It is hard to pick a favourite but usually it is centered around being active. Whether it is spending a day at the beach playing volleyball and swimming, tossing a baseball around with my husband in the park, or hitting the slopes for a day of snowboarding.
If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Australia, specifically the west coast of Australia. It has everything I need to be happy; sunshine, warm weather, the beach, and the ocean. Plus I can live out all my surfing dreams.

Favourite thing about your job: For most of my life, I knew that I wanted to be a writer, but I also really enjoy spending time with people and learning new things. That meant that, most of the time, my education and hobbies were pretty disjointed from my professional experience; however, this job allows me to get to know people from all kinds of backgrounds and I’m constantly learning about new industries, which really appeals to me. Getting to help people customize plans that work for them and seeing their satisfaction with our work is incredibly rewarding, and I also get to write and learn daily. It really is the best of all possible worlds.
What do you like to do when you aren't working? I absolutely love the wonderful world of outside. I also love my wife, daughter, and dog, and I like to take them on as many exploratory adventures as possible and find new trails, roads, and viewpoints wherever we go. I am a voracious reader and enjoy film, so even my lazy days tend to fill up pretty quickly with fun stuff.
What is your favourite food? I am a big fan of spicy food, but I am also a total wuss. It truly is a curse. My go-to cuisines are southern-style barbecue, Cajun, and Mexican.
Coulter loves development work and seeing the final product enjoyed by clients. He started programming when he was 8 and wanted to learn how to build video games. Coulter is a dual citizen and enjoys both Canada's poutine and the USA's chicken fried steak.
Favourite thing about your job: I love that I get to exercise my talents in such a creative environment. It's one thing to build a website, but it's another for that site to be fuelled by other individuals driving the design, vision, SEO, and more to achieve the most successful website possible.
What is your favourite pastime? Playing classics on whatever instrument I happen to grab on a whim. My dad is highly musical, so various lessons were easy to come by growing up. Usually my best friends are the ones that I can play or record music with, but I still like the ones that make the requests.
What sport did you play in high school? Tennis — track sounded way too hard (small high school = few spring sport options).

What do you like to do when you're not working? I love to walk, especially in quiet areas where I can appreciate nature. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and with my cat (whom I consider family!). When I'm at home, I like to read and watch movies.
What is your favourite place to go on vacation? Every couple of years, I travel to California to visit family, but my favourite part of the journey is driving down the Oregon coast. I love the beauty of the ocean and the calm mindfulness that it brings.
