Dan Belhassen – President
As Leader of the Pack, Dan sets the pace, and is devoted to finding solutions to problems his clients don’t even know they have (yet). No question is too big or too small, and he is always ready with a smile and an answer. His feet have been firmly planted on the ground of Modern Earth since 1999, but he is always scanning the horizon for new ideas and opportunities, and boldly goes … you know the rest…

Susan Hurrell - Marketing & Communications
Searching the heavens for signs, wonders and keywords, Susan connects the dots of the Great Site Map, seeing possibilities and providence in how things fit together – with some elbow grease, a lot of hard work, and a thesaurus. Goddess of Content, Queen of Optimization, greatBIGnews Guru, and Marketing Maniac, she gets things found. After that first cup of fair trade organic dark roast, of course!

Philip Giles - Senior Account Executive
Philip packed up a world of sales management experience and found a new home as an Earthling. His web–wisdom comes with an international perspective – especially valuable to clients who are doing business worldwide. He's always cheerful – and everyone loves his accent – especially when he talks about how a website can work harder to build business.

Joshua Hay - Client Care
Josh was juggling a lot of different career balls simultaneously - call centre guy - car dealership guy - web design guy - mini-donut guy - with skill and grace - so we invited him aboard the Modern Earth ship to combine some of his skills into the role of "Client Care Guy" - the one who calls you to make sure you’re happy, the one you call when something's not working right.

The Production Team
Barrett Telfer – Art Director
We’re so glad that this country boy was transplanted to the city – so Modern Earth clients could truly appreciate his keen sense of design, and deeply ingrained work ethic. Always willing to go “above and beyond” to get the design job done right, Barrett keeps his design skills as sharp as his sense of humor – and only his designs have a cutting edge.

Kyle Peterson – Graphic Designer
If Kyle ever decides to disappoint his fans and retire from the razzle-dazzle world of graphic design, he would become one of the world’s leading film critics – he LOVES the movies, and has a definite opinion about every film he sees (just ask him!). This may be the secret of his design success – inundating himself with images and ideas from the world of cinema – providing rich inspiration that he directs into amazing websites (like this one). Two Thumbs Up!

Heather Soiferman - Graphic Designer
Imagine hearing about Caravaggio and Transformers in the same sentence – wild! With a BFA and a hobby site devoted to Cartoon Robots (www.comicsindisguise.com) Heather always has something interesting to talk about – and great inspirations for her client focused design work. We pushed her into the deep end her first week, and her transformation into a seasoned pro was exactly what we expected. More than meets the eye!

Rylaan Gimby - Graphic Designer
If you've been to a Moose game, you've seen Rylaan's work - he did the video work for the Jumbotron. He is also responsible for the infamous "SITE WOW" video we used at our open house. We HAD to recruit him so we could offer our clients the best in online video integration, as well as his skills in design and project management. SCORE!

Mindy Brown - Junior Designer
Mindy came to us as a summer intern, and we liked her work so much we asked her to come back full time. Mindy’s natural bubbly personality comes through in her design work – very warm and inviting – and we’ve only just begun to see her potential.

Chad Norris – Software Development Manager
Who do you call when good code goes bad, or well-behaved programming decides to take a walk on the wild side? None other than that great Canadian Action Hero, Chad Norris! With the same combination of brains and brawn as his famous Uncle Chuck, Chad faces every problem with steely determination and a deep belly laugh, doing his patriotic duty to bring misbehaving bugs into line with a few roundhouse kicks to keep the programming wheels turning smoothly.

Michel Gauthier - Developer
Michel Got Game! And a wit as sharp as his abilities. He loves video games the way Kyle loves movies – which makes for very animated team lunch chats. He's also an Intellivison fanboy without compare and has some great dance moves. Not Shy. Not at all.

Michael Sierks - Developer
He’s very quiet. Keeps his eyes on the screen and his fingers on the keyboard. When there is a break in the coding action – oh wait – apparently there’s never a break in the coding action. Michael has jumped into his role with both feet, and is extremely dedicated to getting "it" done. We like that.

Paul Everton - Developer
We could call Paul "Mr Cheerful" - always smiling. He programs like a maniac, and LOVES football - we know when the Vikings win, because he wears his jersey (big Brett Favre fan). We're glad he's on OUR team because he is a great team player - not just because he has a statue of Bob's Big Boy on his desk.

Cynthia Biebrich - Administration
Two parts magician (making stacks of paper disappear in the blink of a cursor and a wave of the mouse) and 3 parts Number Cruncher Extraordinaire, Cynthia keeps the administrative wheels turning and turning and turning … for which we are extremely grateful (especially on payday).

Zeke
Zeke knows all, sees all, and never misses a beat. Our faithful mascot represents the unwritten Modern Earth philosophy – Keep your eyes on the stars, and your hands on the wheel. Zeke likes long walks along the Aurora Borealis, mango lassi, and listens to Bach organ fugues. He does a wild Watusi when the mood strikes or the planets align.
