No Contest Communications was founded by Robert Basil and Tierney Wisniewski back in 2012. The two met the way people often met at the time: on Twitter. Robert was chairing the Applied Communications department at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Tierney was a student in the psych department, and they had a lot in common, including books, learning, and watching people on public transit.
Robert was born in Canada but raised in the States. He returned to his native land in 1996, and has described Vancouver as the love of his life. Tierney was born and raised in New Orleans. When she and her husband moved to Vancouver in 2003, she was delighted to find herself back in a multicultural salad bowl, albeit of a different sort. Less jazz, more sushi. You can read their LinkedIns here and here, respectively.
These days Robert generally does the writing at No Contest, though much of what you see here has come out of discussions between the two over oysters or spanakopita at some delightful Vancouver spot.
