Blue Butterfly Consulting

My name is DJ Dunkerley and I my first career was in the print business after I graduated with a bachelor of journalism from Carleton University in 1990. My first pre-press job had me working the graveyard shift with an exactor blade, hot wax, and real estate advertising copy. You might as well say that was about the same time as when dinosaurs walked the earth.
The nineties were interesting times. Computers came into the shop and jobs were open to anybody with an appearance of intelligence and a dash of youthful enthusiasm (i.e. willing to work cheap). I worked for about three different service bureaus/print shop before being hired as an applications specialist by Creo in 1997, by the software development group.
I stayed there for seven years, acting in various roles as application engineer, system analyst, and project manager. I left Creo just as it was being bought out by Kodak.
Since leaving Creo in 2004, I have worked for myself at Blue Butterfly Consulting (www.bluebutterfly.ca), landing contracts from the local businesses around town. For sure there is lots I miss about Creo but not the travel: I still remember the time I came back from a business trip and my first son, two years old the time, dragged my carry-on suitcase all through house, stopping occasionally to kick and hit it with various toys.
In 2007, after a stint here and there as contract project manager/business analyst, I started building websites. Then, I started building web sites in WordPress. THEN, I started building paid content websites in WordPress for clients in the finanicial newsletter industry.
I have two “active” clients right now: Midasletter and Oil and Gas Bulletin. Both keep me very busy. Very, very busy.
