Role: Lead Designer

About

I'm currently living in Twin Falls, Idaho. I've lived in many places over the last 25 years.

I was born in Buffalo New York, along with my younger brother, Mark. When I was five my dad accepted a job with the U.S. State Department and our family was sent over-seas. Our first post was in Madras India (now known as Chennai, Tamil Nadu India).

We lived there for 18 months and then before we knew it the family was being whisked off to another country. This time we found ourselves in the east pan handle of the continent of Africa in a small country called Togo. We where posted in the capital of Togo called Lome. This was an interesting place to be at the time. When we moved to Togo, the country was in the middle of a civil war. It was the first time I remember as a little kid living in a house surrounded by eight foot high security walls with barbed wire stretched along the top. During our two years in Togo we experienced may clashes between civilians and the dictatorship's military. I still vividly remember the having Thanksgiving dinner under my parents bed when a fire-fight broke out in the streets just outside our house. Ahh the good old days - nothing like dodging gun fire and angry mobs while riding your bike after a rogue chicken.

Okay enough about Africa. After Togo my parents decided to go to a much “safer” environment to raise us kids. After our time was up in Togo, Lome we packed up and move to the tropics!!! Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talking about. We moved to Trinidad and Tobago found seven miles off of the cost of Venezuela. Fortunately, we drew the lucky straw and we were able to stay in the sunny tropically paradise of Port-of-Spain for four years. Here in Trinidad I joined a swim team and started doing gymnastics. There are so many stories I could talk about in Trinidad but that's for another time.

After Trinidad and Tobago my dad was done with moving. He decided to retire for the government job and move something stable and quite. My mother was originally from Idaho and so we decided to give the northwest part of the U.S a shot. We moved to Twin Falls and here is where I graduated high school. Since moving back to Idaho I have become very involved with computer and computer science. Mostly due to my friends, Ty, Hans and Scott.

I'm proud and honored to be part of the development team for BrianWeb.org and I'm extremely excited to be able to bring this social network to it's users. I hope this site is something everyone can easily use and enjoy. BrianWeb.org not only my way, but the entire development teams way of tributing to an amazing son, brother, friend we all have the privilege to know, Brian Steinke.

Role: Framework Engineer

About

I have lived in Twin Falls my entire life. I started developing websites in the 8th grade. Of course my websites were very simple, but I developed a little site about airplanes. I wrote a few reports on different aircraft and posted it online. Then I was hooked. I've been developing sites ever since.

I currently work at the College of Southern Idaho as a Web Programmer and Developer. I have been working there for a little over 4 years now. 

I was really excited to work on this project for my friend Brian. The idea primarily spawned from Brian's facebook page. After his death there were many great comments on his wall. I for one wanted a way to preserve that archive. Out of that idea BrianWeb was born. After almost six months of developing, you're finally looking at it. I hope you enjoy it. 

Role: Data Analyst

About

I am an inventor and engineer. Since the world believes that all engineers are old and all inventors are dead, I am an entrepreneur for the time being.

I currently do computational fluid dynamics modeling to pay the bills, and am in the process of starting a new product development company. I work way to much, and don't really do any of that "cool" social stuff like txtmsg, Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter(what a stupid idea). Perhaps we can make BrianWeb.org a little cooler.

Oh yes, and I plan to reverse entropy.
