Brendan's Site 

Brendan took up photography in college. He built his own darkroom and worked professionally as a freelance photographer. Upon graduation, he began a career in social work.

In 1984 he started a software publishing company after being trained and certified by IBM as a service technician, and certified by both Apple and IBM as an independent programmer. As a sideline he began building, repairing, and servicing computers. He also did custom programming, software installations, and user training for both individuals and businesses.

Brendan sold the company he started in 1993. He returned to social work and continued working with computers on the side. In 1999 he retired from social work and was formally trained and certified as an MCSE.

In the years that followed he earned the following certifications: MCSE+I; MCSE (W2K); MCDBA (W2K); MCSA (W2K); MCT; and CompTIA's A+ certification.

In 2000, he began teaching certification courses at local area colleges and schools. He also worked as an independent contractor providing network: consultation; design; servicing; and upgrades for small and mid-sized businesses.

With this extensive background, it was not hard for him to gear up and begin producing fine art prints for Kathy.

On 10/13/06, Brendan was awarded the 2006 Distinguished Alumni Award by the School of Social Welfare at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
