Within the area of web development, his specialty is in back end data processing and preprocessor data manipulation with a particular fetish for CLI PHP. One of his most proud contributions to the open-source community is a cURL library wrapper class written in PHP which allows for easy custom spidering of almost any web site. Brandon is just beginning his Doctoral studies at ASU in the field of Public Administration where his research will be the government's use of Internet surveilance technologies as a means of social control and cooresion.

In his spare time, Brandon enjoys studying comptuer forensics and security, archery, shooting, photography, and being outdoors. He and his wife are expecting their first child in early November. Brandon also has mad badminton skills and is a volunteer badminton coach for the Hamilton High School (no shuttlecock jokes please).
