Michael Rogers - President & Chair
I own and operate Intricate Designs, a home based Web Design, Graphic, Tutorials, Custom Computers and PC Service business.

I first joined KiN more than a year ago, to help with this web site, but my involvement grew from there to encompass LardeauValley.com; the new ISP site for KiN.

My main goal is to improve the web presence for Kaslo, as well as informing people of the potential for education via High Speed Internet.

I have a strong background in just about everything related to the computer, whether it is Web related, PC Repair, Programming, Networking or otherwise. I have been a resident of northern Kaslo for the better part of 6 years, and have gained the repect and admiration of my colleagues in a short space of time.

Larry Leonard - Vice President & Vice Chair
For the past couple of years Larry has been increasingly interested in PCs, and his hand-crafted wood furniture business, Leisure Cedar, is becoming overshadowed by his ‘backyard mechanic’ activities. Larry lives in Lardeau, south of Meadow Creek. He was the founder of our Lardeau Valley Internet Committee, which has been disbanded since it has accomplished its goal of bringing High Speed Internet to the Lardeau Valley. Larry is one of our installers, and continues to be involved in the expansion of our network.

Larry also started the new "Computers for Kids" committee, to donate refurbished systems to underpriviledged children.

Robert McLennan - Treasurer & Operations Manager
Rob holds a B.Sc and MBA degrees, with many years in Business and Management. He has an extensive background in Electronics, Radio and Computer Network Design. He has created the Wireless Internet infastructure now in place in Meadow Creek, Cooper Creek, Howser, Argenta, and Lardeau. Rob recently moved to Shutty Bench for a second retirement, but we've hired him as our Operations Manager.
