I have a new job

A few weeks ago now, I left my job at ESPN.com to join Sports Technologies Inc. based in Collinsville, Connecticut. The first few weeks I have been working on FanNation.com which is a sports social networking site owned by Sports Illustrated. STI also just launched NBCOlympics.com. I started a blog on the site called U.S. Cycling Team Outlook where I will post updates on how the U.S. Olympic cycling team is shaping up. I am really excited about using Ruby on Rails and being able to continue working on community driven web applications.

I was at ESPN.com for over seven years and I will certainly miss working with a lot of great people there. I was able to work on some really fun and challenging features there, and It was always cool to tell people you worked for ESPN. It was just time for a change and I am really excited about what is ahead for me at STI.




About Brent

I have been a Web Developer since the early '90s working on some of the highest traffic sites on the internet such as MSN.com and ESPN.com. Since 2007 I have been using Ruby on Rails while working for Sports Technologies, a small internet company in Connecticut, developing features for FanNation.com and Fantasy Sports applications for Sports Illustrated.

I am interested in all things related to Social Media, User Experience, and creating great Web Applications.

I am a Cycling enthusiast who raced competitively for many years, and still try to get out and ride as much as I can. I created the site BikeRide.com and have developed some other cycling related sites in the past.

I am a husband, and the father of two girls. I grew up in western Washington, but now live in Connecticut.
