About
Mike DeHaan began writing professionally in 2010 as the sole proprietor of DeHaan Services. This finally uses his high school credit in creative writing and several English Literature courses at university.
In his previous career in information technology, he programmed in COBOL and performed quality assurance testing for a number of corporate clients.
Mike now blogs and writes freelance online articles under his own name. DeHaan Services provides ghost-written articles, web pages, business letters and a variety of other services.
Mike has trained himself to run marathons (each covers 26 miles and 385 yards, or 42.2Km), but now is usually content to help with a 10Km clinic at a local Running Room. Running and some attention to diet led to maintaining a weight loss of 20-30 pounds.
He volunteers some of his time at the Mennonite church he attends.
DeHaan Services also works in information technology and web design, as well as in fitness and weight control.
Mike's heavily-researched online articles are available through Environmental Graffiti [[ http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/users/mikedehaan ]] (and more stories [[ http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/stories/user/12319/82340 ]]) and Suite 101 [[ http://www.suite101.com/writer_articles.cfm/mikedehaan ]]. His typical topics are "gee-whiz" natural wonders or facts related to Mennonites.
The "DeHaanDirectory" [[ http://dehaandirectory.wordpress.com/ ]] is Mike's newest site, which should become the central directory for his business services and blogs of advice about freelance consulting. It is hosted by Wordpress.
His DeHaan Services "About"[[ http://dehaanservices.ca/?page_id=2 ]] page also has links to his other sites, which include the "DeHaan Lens" [[ http://www.squidoo.com/the-dehaan-lensography ]] series on Squidoo and the "DeHaan Blog of Writing" [[ http://thedehaanblogofwriting.weebly.com/the-official-dehaan-blog-of-writing.html ]] hosted by Weebly.
Mike is on Facebook [[ http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001774734577 ]], and also uses Digg and Reddit to help keep informed. — Toronto, Ontario
