Linda Weaver
Linda is married to Rich and has five grown children. Linda and Rich love high school and college sports, and have been Iowa State fans since 1971. They enjoy traveling when possible. Linda likes to keep active with early morning runs/workouts. She commuted 120 miles/daily for 22 years... the 10 minute daily commute to 5Q's office is a refreshing change.
Bryan VanHaitsma
Bryan is the web developer for 5Q Communications. This means he's usually "under the hood" of a web site working on the mechanics and inner parts of the site that you may never see (but are no less important). He also likes to spend time running, hiking, tossing a frisbee (ultimate or disc golf), studying Hebrew and learning more about God. He and his wife, Erika, live in West Michigan (and sometimes in Jerusalem, Israel).
Heath Gerlock
Heath is a Graphic Designer for 5Q Communications. Understanding usability, he delivers sites to serve visitors visually and functionally. Heath is married to Leonora. They have one daughter and live in rural Iowa. Heath enjoys spending time with his family, creating music on guitar to glorify God, and working with wood and metal.
Nathan Ho
Nathan is our Technical Director, and has been intrigued with computers ever since he burnt his finger on the internal circuitry of his Tandy TRS-80 Color computer. After taking a few programming classes in high school, he went on to earn a degree in Computer Information Systems from Cedarville College. During his time at Cedarville, he built his first personal web page - and his life has never been the same. After several computer Network Administration jobs, he then went on to be the Internet Ministries Coordinator for the International Headquarters of Child Evangelism Fellowship, and later spent several years as Internet Technology support for the Gospelcom.net Alliance. With a wide array of experience in the various aspects of the Internet, Nathan now loves to spend his time figuring out intricate programming puzzles for clients. On those rare occasions when he's not by his computer, you will probably find him out with friends, playing his guitar and singing, or lost deep in the pages of a good book.
Floyd Manning
Floyd is a designer/programmer for 5Q Communications. Floyd is originally from Toronto, Ontario Canada but now lives in Northern Virginia. He has been involved in web development for 9 years. Floyd has been married to Nadine for 4 years and they have one daughter. He likes to work out, play tennis with his wife (she has a winning record against him), draw, play the drums and read the Bible.
Brian Tol
Brian makes a great pot of coffee, which is a handy skill to have when you're programmer like Brian. He's been building caffeine-powered (and award-winning) websites for over 8 years -- mostly for awesome non-profits and educational institutions like Gospel Communications, That The World May Know Ministries, and Spring Arbor University -- to name a few. A graduate of Calvin College, Brian holds degree in computer science, and worked as a strategist, marketer, bean counter, and project manager before returning to his first love of software development at 5Q. When not drinking java or writing Java, Brian can be found hanging with his more-talented wife Amy and their wonderful two-year-old, Noah.
John Schwartz
John serves as the project manager for 5Q Communications managing a team
of web professionals. He understands a broad range of web and marketing
related skills with 8 years of experience with building web teams and
projects for non-profits and ministries. John is married to Christy and
currently has five children (and counting!) and lives in the Pacific
Northwest. He loves his honeybees and to fish, hunt, garden, sing/play music and mentor people.
