Jim

Jim Romeyn has been involved in the computer industry since 1984. While attending Douglas College in 1985, he started his first computer retail business, and soon formed a successful partnership with his older brother, Al. The business grew and prospered for the following ten years, and was awarded with the prestige of being named the 2nd fastest growing company in B.C., by Profit Magazine. In 1995, Jim and his brother agreed to part ways, and Jim branched off on a new adventure.

Jim started a company that would sell and repair used computers, and he called it SanderMax. The business has flourished and grown ever since, and has adapted to the changing market trends. SanderMax quickly found a niche in the corporate IT market, and has not looked back since. Jim was very honored to receive the 2006 Small Business of the Year Award from the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Jim looks forward to serving his community, both corporately and personally, for many years to come. Jim and his wife Amanda are raising three sons and three daughters in Milner.

Amanda

Amanda is our copy editor and marketing consultant. She majored in English & Psychology at Capilano College and Simon Fraser University. Growing up in North Vancouver, her Dad was a journeyman printer for Pacific Press, so her fascination with language, and how it affects people, began at an early age. Amanda and Jim live in Milner, where she is an active mom to their six children.

Joel

Joel is our import from the south. He was born in Chicago, and moved with his parents to Canada at a young age. He and Jim met each other not long after that, and spent a couple of years together in high school, and subsequently graduated together. Some of Joel’s first experiences with computers and the internet were with Jim. His tasks range from answering the many telephone calls to repairing PCs … never a dull moment!

Married with children, Joel is very much a family man. His free time is spent with them, as well as playing in a band with some friends. Of course he also tries to find a bit of time in there to spend on his own computer!Joel is excited about being part of this vibrant, growing company, and is looking forward to the future with great optimism! On a regular basis, he can be heard remarking to Jim, “Have I told you I love my job?!"
