About Me:
First off, my name is Brent W.J. Mackie, or "BWJM" for short. I was born in Ontario, Canada, and I have lived here my entire life.
Education:
After finishing high school in 2001, I enrolled in Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. I have since graduated with a Bachelor of Mathematics, or B.Math for short. While at UW, I was also enrolled in the co-op program which gave me great work experience at Open Text Corporation and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
Career:
Since university, my career has included a variety of companies including Execulink Telecom, MKS Inc., PTC Inc., and Tekman Solutions Inc.
Interests:
My hobbies and interests include Geocaching and collecting Canadian paper money. I have been actively geocaching since 2016 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am a life member of several numismatic organizations:
In 2012, I was the Chair of the Communications Committee for the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Roseville, Ontario. This position had me overseeing a small team of other volunteers as we coordinated the Internet, telephone and two-way radio needs for the Plowing Match.
I am also quite interested in "greasing the wheels of democracy" by working for municipal, provincial and federal elections as a poll worker and office staff member. I have worked for every election at each of those three levels since 2015 and I always look forward to the next challenge.
