Matt Stambaugh
Matt thoroughly enjoys being a geek. As the owner of a small IT and telecommunications business in Calgary, he is always looking for the next big thing in information systems and communications but often finds himself on strange tangents, researching a wide range of exciting and interesting future technologies across the scientific spectrum.
After completing a BA in Political Science with a minor in Economics from the University of Calgary, he followed up with a technical education at SAIT prior to entering the IT field. However Matt has also been fortunate to be able to enjoy moonlighting as a journalist, working in the past as a travel and opinion columnist for the Calgary Herald, as well as a technology commentator for CBC Newsworld and CBC radio stations across the country.
He's always looking forward to a chat, and so if you have any questions about one of his segments please feel free to reach him at mstambaugh(at)mwsolutions.ca.
