About Me
23 03 08 - 14:36Hi, I'm Allan Nienhuis. At work I help software development managers keep their teams productive and happy at the Active Network (my official title is 'Director, Product Development'). I also help my team in Xian, China grow at an incredible pace.
I'm still amazed that my wife Shelley actually married me (26th anniversary this year!). Both of our children (daughter Danielle, son Noel) have moved out of the house kind of recently so we're experiencing the 'empty nest' thing first hand. We're now living on the beatiful waterfront of Pender Harbour, which is a bit north of Vancouver, BC in an area called 'The Sunshine Coast', although we lived in Abbotsford, BC for over 20 years. You can find some pictures of our place here. Our Christian faith is imporant to us, and for many years we've supported and encouraged others to support several hands-on ministries - www.onemileclinic.org, www.partnersforhaiti.org, and the work of Norm and Jen Weir serving people in remote communities in BC.
I suppose my first post on why I bothered putting up this blog in the first place will probably get kicked off the front page after a while, so I'll put a link to it here.
