july.2016 YOUR SAANICH PENINSULA VOICE
seasidemagazine.ca brian harrison
Born and raised in Victoria, and founder of Peninsula Computer & Web Solutions and affiliates PCS Data Recovery and EasyWebWorks, I have been fortunate to work with many creative and talented individuals over the years. After climbing the corporate ladder, attaining degrees from educational institutions in Canada and the U.S., it was time to get back to my roots on Vancouver Island. Many years later it is still the best choice. The Peninsula is home to me and my wife, enjoying the many outdoor activities and hobbies we share as we continue to promote healthy lifestyles and a sustainable environment. Pursue your passion, without limits, and when technology stands in your way, let’s remove that roadblock and make it work for you.

As a partner of Paterson Henn, Chartered Professional Accountants, I work with many not-for-profit organizations, businesses and individuals and enjoy assisting them with their tax and reporting requirements. I feel it is important to continue to expand my knowledge and keep current in all areas of our practice, including U.S. tax and audits. Living, working and being involved in the Saanich Peninsula community has been a focus of mine. My husband and I spend time sailing the Gulf Islands and hiking local parks whenever possible. I also like to push myself to remain active, so this year I have been running a few races and in July will be cycling 170 kilometres over two days in the Cycle of Life Tour.

As the owner of House of Lily Koi, I bring 20 years of experience as a leader in sales training, fashion and personal style. I’m a published author, keynote speaker and radio and tv personality. Prior to my career as an image consultant, I performed on stage across Canada as a professional musician for 20 years. I’ve played guitar, percussion and vocals with artists such as Trooper, Loverboy, Temptations and Sheri Ulrich. Placing great importance on community support with charities that improve the health and welfare of others is our credo, and I talk a little bit about that in this month’s “Fashion Focus.” As my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother did before me on the Peninsula, I lead my team with spirit and passion.

As a Mechanical Engineer with a history of automotive work starting in high school building go-karts and then the odd drag race, road and circuit racing, I look forward to sharing a bit of my knowledge with Seaside readers through the “Ignition” column. I worked for Hilton International Hotels for most of my life; this job required a great deal of travel, giving me the opportunity to drive in some 50 countries! In addition to licenses for competition driving, my family’s travels required me to take driving tests five times: three in Canada, one in the U.S. and one in the U.K. About 15 of my friends meet for a “car club” every Friday – between us we own over 100 vehicles including Aston Martins, Porsches, BMWs, Corvettes, Maseratis, Mercedes, Audis and most domestic brands of various vintages. We all build and maintain vehicles.
