Hosting and Domain Expert

If not for Brian, there would be no SpringHill Interactive Media. 

Brian first worked with John Comeskey at a Dayton-based technology firm in 1995.  When John left the firm to start Saturn Performance Systems in 1996, it was Brian who built and hosted the first SPS website and encouraged John to leverage the internet as a viable marketing tool.
 
Brian hand-coded the original SPS site and built the original simple online store functions. In 2000, when the SPS site received its first major overhaul, Brian again developed the site and worked closely with John and Jennifer Larew to integrate the new store with Jen’s central marketing database. 
 
In 2006, when consulting firm Ground Water Science hired the SPS crew to build their new site, it was Brian who performed their first ‘Joomla!’ CMS installation and encouraged John to learn and embrace the technology.
 
Since 1997, Brian has worked as a technology professional for Cummins, Inc., and currently serves as a Rational Products Engineer, managing the entire portfolio of IBM Rational products for Cummins staff throughout the world. 
 
He is also the owner, President, and Chief Engineer for belcommunications.net, a managed hosting company based in Columbus, Indiana.  Through belcommunications.net, Brian provides hosting services for most of the sites within the SpringHill Interactive Media portfolio.  He also manages domain name registration, email accounts, site backups, security, and core software upgrades.
 
In addition to his responsibilities at Cummins and belcommunications.net, Brian somehow manages to assist his wife, Sharla, in raising their 4 children.  He is the founder of the ACLA Soccer Academy and coaches youth soccer teams.  And he is a passionate train and rail enthusiast who spends countless hours volunteering for the Whitewater Valley Railroad.
 
Brian earned his Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Wright State University in 1997.
