Cindy C - Application Development

Around the office, Cindy is known as our champion foosball goalie.  Her quick reactions and uncanny ability to come up with the BIG save transfer over to her real job at ProTraining – building features that make our T2 Platform a leading edge software.  Cindy has been with ProTraining for more than 3 years and is a valuable member of our development team.  On non-work days she can be found doing yard work at her new house or playing with the love of her life, her son Thomas. 

Tracey H - Content Conversion Expert

A killer at the foosball table (with her partner Cindy covering the net), Tracey will be missed as she takes a one-year leave of absence to care for her first baby.  We look forward to seeing Tracey back in competition in August 2008.

Greg K - Business Development

Before you choose ProTraining.com™, we know that you will have many questions. As each partner is unique, so to is Greg’s ability to find the perfect solution for your needs.  A sincere workaholic, Greg can’t live without his alarm clock and more importantly can’t live without his favorite piece of technology – his Blackberry (for proof of his devotion and love of all things Blackberry, ask him about the time he lost it at Subway).  Greg recently purchased a new house and will be up to his ears in renovations this summer – painting, carpeting and enjoying a few beers on the deck with Carole and his friends/family. 

Chris L - Business Development Manager, Owner

As one of the founders of ProTraining.com™, Chris works to see our company grow through satisfied customers and strategic partnerships. A flying (and now motor-biking) enthusiast, Chris recently purchased his first motorcycle, a BMW R1200C cruiser, and can often be seen riding to work with the wind in his hair.  If he wasn’t completely entrenched in building ProTraining, Chris could see himself as a 19th century philosopher and many of his philosophies can be found on his personal blog, http://www.richfulllife.ca.  He loves being a dad and can’t imagine living without his wife and dog Murphy.  He’s our Jack of All Trades, and without-a-doubt makes coming to work at ProTraining a fun experience.

Jill L - Customer Care & Data Entry

With modern technology, things don't always run smoothly and Jill's ability to manage the support of your users is, frankly, one of the most important things we do at ProTraining.  An avid runner who has participated in marathons all around the world, Jill can run 26 miles in the rain, the sun or the snow, nothing stops her!  With Chris and their girls at her side, Jill spends her off time relaxing and hanging out with family/friends – let’s face it, nothing beats good friends and a nice glass of red wine.  Jill is a vital part of our team and we are thrilled that she lets us lease Chris on a daily basis. 

Dan O - Senior Software Architect

At the heart of our company lies the T2 Platform and at the heart of our company lies Dan. Around here we call him ‘Mini-Don’ and although he’d rather be modeling in New York, we are glad he chooses to stick around. His ability to architect and build leading edge features ensures we continue to provide a first class software platform that all our customers enjoy today.  Lunching with Kim Jong-Il, using his juicer and watching Elvira, Mistress of the Dark are just a few of Dan’s favorite things to do.  He can’t live without Starbucks and, frankly, we would have a tough time living with out him!

Dianne R - Finance & Customer Care

Dianne works hard to ensure that our accounting is accurate and timely, and that you receive your invoicing or partner payouts on time.  A key piece in our financial network, Dianne also makes sure the ProTraining team gets paid, which guarantees her a spot at the foosball table and in our hearts.  This summer will find Dianne doing lots of slurpee runs with Don and their kids and possibly enjoying a nice glass of red wine on a restaurant patio.  An old fashioned girl at heart, her favorite piece of technology is the telephone…she probably doesn’t need much else - after all, Don collects enough Blackberries to cover the entire family.

Don R - Product Development Manager, Owner

If Don wasn’t an owner of ProTraining, he would be a jet pilot – fortunately for us, he’ll just have to settle for kicking butt at the foosball table instead of kicking butt in the sky.  As the sole architect and original programmer of the T2 Platform, Don has always been the final say on what our product is and can be.  Together with Chris, he works to identify and develop strategic ideas that will help ProTraining grow each day.  He likes to be called “Mr. Riep”, but usually we just call him the New Gadget Research and Development Specialist and hope that he’s having an off day at the foosball table.  As his wife Dianne can attest, his favorite piece of technology is the Blackberry (newest version, of course) and 9 times out of 10 you can find him early in the morning with a bagel in one hand and his Blackberry in the other, reading the morning paper and chatting with the team. As much as Don loves coming to work every day, he is equally jazzed at the end of the day about going home and spending precious time with Dianne and his kids, Mark and Courtney.

Angeline W. - Site Integration Specialist

We consider each client a special partner, with unique needs and wants. Angeline’s commitment to this philosophy shines through on each and every project.  She will make sure that the customization, design and launch of your ProTraining.com™ site is a full reflection of your vision.  When not spending home time with her two favorite people – her daughter, Miranda and boyfriend, Scott – Angeline can be found playing with anything related to technology.  If it’s new, she has it or wants it.  Her iPod is jam-packed with fresh music and she keeps all of us at ProTraining aware of the latest music trends.  Working out, shopping, blogging, being a mom, connecting with friends…life is busy for the newest member of the ProTraining team.
