So, you want to know who I am? There's no way to truly get to know a person by reading a few lines about them. But I'll try to capture the highlights.

My name is Brian French, and like many kids during the early 80's, was mesmerized with science fiction and computers. I loved playing the Atari 2600 "Santa Claus" brought one year and that was my introduction to computers. A few years later, I moved on to the Intellivision. My school acquired a few Radio Shack TRS-80 systems and I was hooked.

I joined the Marine Corps in 1986 and repeatedly found myself tinkering with computers for each unit I was assigned to (DOS, Apple and MS-Windows). By the time I left the Marine Corps in 1995, I'd served in two combat zones as an Interrogator while also completing many other interesting assignments. I'd also acquired a variety of skills which allowed me to efficiently complete various computer-based tasks, troubleshoot software and hardware issues, and teach others how to become "self-sufficient" with computers.

I started in the private technology sector with Concentric Network which eventually became XO Communications. Living in Freeland (Michigan), I'm a member of the Tittabawassee Township (volunteer) Fire Dept. I completed the 1987 Marine Corps marathon, several Sprint and Olympic-length triathlons as well as a half-iron (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.2 mile run), love cycling, the fire/rescue service, creating/maintaining websites, martial arts, drumming, piano, and more.

Does all that seem like a lot? That's just what I do with my spare time; being married and the father of 4 comes before all that. They're the reason I started working with websites and the reason I continue to do so.
