Building innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry
From humble beginnings to industry innovation
Born in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Dave Wolsey found great interest in computers and the internet. After graduating from high school, he served a two year mission in the West Indies where he learned French and developed a great love for the West Indian people.
Upon his return, he moved to Calgary and earned a degree in Computer Technology from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). During his studies, he started a work practicum at Wise Mortgage Inc. where he designed and developed wisemortgage.com. Alongside studying and doing side work in IT, Dave met his wonderful wife Tera, and were married 8 months later.
Through his work with Wise Mortgage Inc. Dave found a knack for website design and IT consulting. In 2004 Dave founded Wolsey-Tech Inc, with the goal of providing website design and IT Consulting to companies across Calgary.
In 2007 Dave moved from Calgary to Camrose with his wife Tera and their four children. Wolsey-Tech followed alongside, and began serving the central Alberta region with expanded services and capabilities.
After finding IT work within the oil and gas industry, Dave found himself getting frustrated with the large Excel spreadsheets that his company was using. To combat these clunky sheets, Dave designed the first version of his HR tracker, which helped streamline his company's logbooks and organization. This innovation allowed for greater expansion, as the HR tracker enabled more personnel and equipment to be managed with the same amount of oversight.
After realizing the potential of such a system, Wolsey-Tech has now expanded to serve companies across both Alberta and Saskatchewan. This growth, combined with continued excellence in website design and IT consultation, has cemented Wolsey-Tech as the premier IT firm in the central region.
