When transplanted from Connecticut to California at the age of seven, Bryan had no idea that his new home would be the source of a powerful hybrid of culture and technology. It didn't take long for him to realize that he belonged in Silicon Valley.

Bryan has always been the curious type, anxious to get a look behind the scenes find out exactly how things work. And then, one day, his elementary school decided to buy an Apple II and put it on a desk in the back of his classroom. Ever since that day 15 years ago, he has made sure there is a keyboard nearby.

He is currently exercising his 8 years of professional computer experience as a product specialist at a major Internet service provider. This position allows him to utilize his unique mix of technical and communications skills as the "customer advocate" and technical liason for marketing, engineering and sales. He's also single-handedly responsible for the design/implementation/maintenance of the intranet support website, acts as a technical contact for multiple vendor alliances, and a technical representative at all trade shows.

When he's torn away from his CRT, he can be found laying down the bass groove as part of the musical project known as Namaste.
