Here is Brian in their own words

👋 Howdy! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Brian and I’ve been doing technology things since acoustic modem couplers were a thing. I love Open Source and exploring different programming languages. Some highlights about me and my activities:

Army Veteran: Bradley Fighting Vehicle Gunner, Infantry, 1st Armored Division.

Father of five with 21 years difference between oldest and youngest child.

Co-founded GopherCon the largest conference for Go developers.

Co-authored Go In Action for Manning Publishing.

Co-wrote Skynet and SkyDNS with Erik St. Martin, which was eventually morphed into the DNS service discovery that powers Kubernetes.

Contributed to the largest projects that power the Internet. Go, Kubernetes, Etcd, and so many more.

I love Open Source, learning in public, and sharing what I learn with others.
