(Yes, I am a Canuck. Although I was born in Arizona I was lucky enough to grow up in British Columbia, Canada where I learned my good manners and appreciation of wide open spaces. This is also why you might hear an "eh" slip out every once in a while when you're in my company.)
The individuals I met during this assignment were like most Canadians I know: unique, exceptionally nice and self-reliant. From Chris Albinson, a Venture Capitalist who is helping fellow Canadian techie entrepreneurs get a leg up in Silicon Valley to the self proclaimed "Geek" Neil Fraser, who works at Google during the week and can be found kayaking the San Francisco Bay on the weekends, spending time with my fellow Canadians was a bit of a coming home for me and truly welcomed.
