About
Frank Arndt
President & CEO
With over 26 years at the helm, Frank has been steering myITSource towards success since its inception in January 1998 as Frank’s Computers. As an Industrial Electrician turned tech guru, Frank learned the ropes of the IT business through trial and error, building a wealth of experience along the way.
If you ask Frank, and we did, he says that he works with the smartest people in Brandon and learns from them every day. Do you see why we love him?! Frank is sincerely committed to maintaining a culture where every employee truly feels valued and where collaboration and learning are top priorities.
His favorite tech gadgets are his Samsung Android Phone, smart home technology, and Sonos sound systems.
Frank is on a quest to become an AI expert, and also to master the paddleboard. When Frank isn’t busy revolutionizing the tech industry, you’ll find him cruising the open road on his motorcycle, traveling with his family, or embarking on some kind of outdoor adventure.
If you are interested in doing business with one of the most genuine and personable guys in the IT business, stop by for a visit, he would love to chat!
BJ Hersak
Managing Partner
If you have met this guy, you won’t likely forget him! BJ is a people person through and through, always taking time with both customers and staff to get to know what makes them tick and how to bring out the best in them. When describing myITsource he said “The culture is what sets our team apart! How many other employers host remote control car grand prix’s?” And let’s be clear, BJ plays a big role in helping set that culture.
BJ has been working with Frank and consulting with myITsource since 2010 and a couple of years ago became one of our managing partners. He brings a passion for learning and exploring with IT. He got hooked on wireless networks in the early 2000’s but has focussed more on communications tech since 2004. Personally he loves smart home tech, automation, AI, and any kind of tech toy out there.
Tech might be one of his passions, but he has also played a fair bit of hockey in his day (he actually started with ringette!), loves spending time with his family and is all about that Lake Life! In addition to everything else, BJ is our resident champion for Westman Dreams for Kids and loves an opportunity to give back to the community.
myITsource definitely wouldn’t be the same without him!
Sean Dandy
Managing Partner
Sean has been an integral part of our journey for the past number of years and has roots with myITsource going all the way back to 2006.
Keeping your business current and connected is crucial, and Sean is here to help! He is an expert in business communications technology and specializes in phone systems/Internet, cellular signal amplifiers, and corporate audio/visual solutions.
His daily tech lineup includes his iPhone, Blink cameras, and WiiM Home Connect for outdoor fun, while the Lenovo Thinkpad T16 keeps his work routines on point.
Always staying ahead of the curve, Sean is currently delving more deeply into VOIP/cloud-based phone systems for business, IP/Fiber-based cellular signal amplifiers, and total building control systems for audio/video/lighting and HVAC.
What sets MyITsource apart? According to Sean, it’s the diverse and inclusive team culture that fosters a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported. It’s like a big, fun-loving family where collaboration thrives, and victories are celebrated together!
Beyond the office, Sean and his partner Victoria recently got engaged in Banff and share their home with two adorable pups, Buck (the Beagle) and Buster (the Doodle). He loves exploring new trails with the dogs, hitting the golf course, mountain biking, fishing, and planning the next adventure, like their upcoming trip to Europe.
If you’re looking to enhance your Business Connectivity or simply curious about the latest in business communications technology, Sean is your guy! Give him a call; he’s always eager to assist.
Ryan Green
IT Director & Managing Partner
At myITsource Ryan has nearly done it all. He started as an ACC student placement and worked as a service technician, assistant service manager, and IT consultant. Part of his role now is as the fearless leader of our Helpdesk and Service Department.
Currently, Ryan is focusing on the wonderful world of Microsoft’s suite of programs and their many licensing options. Personal favorites are Onenote and Sharepoint to go along with his whole kit of gadgets that make his life easier. He is also a platinum-level creative problem solver with an eye for elegant solutions and a knack for out-of-the-box thinking.
When we asked him about working at myITsource, he responded, “What I enjoy the most is working alongside a team that holds each other up and is just as invested in each others’ growths as well as their own. Our team culture is something special, even on our most hectic days we can still hear laughter and keep a smile on our faces.”
Ryan and his wife subscribe to lake life during the summer and all the fun activities that come along with that. They are kept active by their Mini-Australian Shepard Ruby all year round. And of course, he would hardly be an IT specialist if he didn’t also have a few video games on the go and a collection of gaming consoles.
If you are looking for IT support come and talk with Ryan. He would love to get to know your company and help build a plan that truly fits who you are as a company so you can do what you do best!
Desmond Blacksmith
Shop Manager
Desmond has been with myITsource repairing all your computers and devices from water spills, drops, clicks, and crashes for over a decade and is our man behind the workbench.
Growing up he was the neighbourhood kid that people brought their VCRs and electronics to for repairs and through trial and error built his skills. He got his first computer when he was 19 years old and it was when a home internet installer showed him why his computer was running slowly that he really got hooked on figuring out what makes computers tick and how to make them better.
His first job in IT was in the IT department at Sioux Valley Dakota Nation which led him to ACC to complete his Adult Education Diploma, then his Computer Systems Technology Diploma where he came to myITsource as an ACC practicum student and never left!
When we asked him, he said the best part of working at myITsource was working for Frank and how he treats staff, the willingness of everyone to jump in and help at a moment’s notice, and of course being able to laugh, joke around and geek out around similar interests.
Out from behind the workbench, Desmond is an avid golfer and a die-hard Blue Jays fan. He loves watching movies with his family in his home theatre and of course playing video games.
You can rest easy knowing that your devices are in good hands here as Desmond weaves his tech magic!
