Chris Bovard

Web Developer

After coming to the Canadian Rockies from New Brunswick with his family in 1992, Chris has never looked back. Keen to snowboard, mountain bike and climb everything, he learned to love the mountain lifestyle.

Chris worked at Marmot Basin in Jasper, Lake Louise ski area and Mike Wiegele Heli Skiing. After working at Wiegele's in the kitchen off and on until 2000, he decided to pursue a career in IT. After graduating from CDI College of Business and Technology, Chris spent the next few years climbing ice, snow and rock, with some freelance web development thrown in there too. Chris moved to Vancouver and became a member of the Intranet Development Team at Nokia and, during this time, he began to tinker with different open source CMS, learned a lot about corporate culture and spent his evenings learning more from various CSS/XHTML freelance projects. Chris then got a Drupal project from ImageX Media, changing everything on how he approached web development. From there, he left Nokia for the University of British Columbia to work as a Drupal Developer.

In the fall of 2009 Chris joined Ventureweb in Squamish, BC and is currently neck deep in learning HTML5 and CSS3.
