Mike Kuefler

Mike Kuefler

Geek, ubergeek, techie and computer guru are the best descriptions of Mike Kuefler. Mike comes to The Sage in the form of creator. Without him, The Sage and the News Director publishing engine behind it would not exist. Described by his friends as "the Best Techno-Geek I know" Mike is a fountain of information, advice and all things sage when it comes to bots, cookies, OS, net, MMS, SEO, bits, bytes, yahda, yahda, yahda . . . you get the picture. Owner of Industrial NetMedia the company that provides the technology behind The Sage, Mike shares his wealth of geekdom with our readers. Don't be shy to engage him in a mind boggling confab, cuz that is what he is all about. From one Sage to another, thank you Mike for making this all possible.

Jan Marshall

Jan Marshall

As a Humor Columnist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Motivational Speaker, Jan Marshall founded the "International Humor & Healing Institute" in 1986. Prominent physicians and other board members, including Norman Cousins, Steve Allen and Dr. Bernie Siegal, shared her techniques for healing through hope and humor. Jan hosted her own television series and was a guest on hundreds of radio and television shows. As a regular guest on Steve Allen's radio show, Jan returned the favor by hosting Steve Allen on her television show. Jan's latest satirical book, "Dancin' Schmancin' with the Scars", is about "Graying and Giggling in the age of Googling". The Sage is privileged to have Jan Marshall as a member of The Sage team, with the regular readers being the true benefactors.

Ian McKerracher

Ian McKerracher

Ian McKerracher started writing in a cabin on a lake in northern Alberta with a candle as the only light. As his visionary forward-thinking soon showed, he graduated to two candles in time for his next birthday. Using the bitumen that bubbled from below his feet for ink, Ian began to lay, plank by plank, a solid platform of x-ray-like insightful columns on the assorted colours of the human condition. The tear-stained letters that he got from his fan was testament to the depth, width and profundity that flowed from the end of his quill. His final graduation to a hand-crank computer hailed Ian's arrival into the 21st Century. "I-Ian" had pushed through into the unending vistas of noble thought laying pristine and virgin before him. The next chapter is yet to be written...
