When he’s not reporting, you’ll probably find Heath in the mountains splitboarding, hiking, biking, flyfishing or soaking in a hot spring.

1:40 Carlo Sgro (a.k.a. Carlo From Canada at the Thursday hangouts) lives in New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada, a small town about an hour west of Toronto. He’s been a fan of Pete’s since the days of Pete’s Big Mouth on Sirius’s Indie Talk channel. Carlo married an American and loves following American politics, although the Trump years were definitely not enjoyable.  Professionally, he’s been a Professor of Software Engineering Technology at Conestoga College in Waterloo, Ontario (also about an hour west of Toronto) for the past 21 years.  He’d love to see more Americans join his program so he can prepare them for a great career in software development! https://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/software-engineering-technology/courses?id=22387 has more information about the program.  He can be reached through Facebook at “Carlo Sgro” (the Canadian one, not the other ones) or on Twitter (@ThisOneCarlo).
