About Me

Matthew Siemens - Egypt Although I now live in Saskatoon, I grew up in the small Mennonite Community of Waldheim North of Saskatoon. My family still lives in Waldheim, and I spend a fair bit of time there working with a number of clients I have in the area.

I've worked in the Tech. Sector since High School, solving problems, and finding better ways to do things. I'm now in the process of launching two new websites. OurTownSite.ca which offers complete website solutions for Municipal Governments and MennoSites.ca which provides general website design, hosting, maintenance, graphic design, and more.

When I'm not working, I am an avid traveller with a special interest in Eastern Europe and Transylvania in particular. I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and seeing new things.
