Oban Lambie
President
Oban was born and raised in San Francisco, California but spent significant portions of his childhood in Northern New Mexico. He began his computer career at the age of twelve during summer computer programming camps learning the ancient arts of
BASIC 
and
LOGO
programming on
Apple IIe's
. After attending college at San Diego State University Oban's computer career took flight with the emergence of the Internet. Since then he's become an accomplished Web Programmer, Database Engineer and Systems Administrator. He's been the lead Systems Administrator for ISP's, programmed for startups during the dot com heyday, built the back end of many enterprise level web sites, and lead teams of programmers and systems administrators through completion of countless successful projects. He now manages the Brownrice Internet staff, keeps the network humming, and chases his wife and twin boys around during his time off.
Vanessa Moon
Project Manager and Lead Support Technician
Vanessa Moon started down the path of technology in 1988 working at Dell Computers in client services. She soon transferred her focus within the company to sales and was intricately involved in what was at the time Dell's largest single sale in its history: the State of Texas, Department of Human Services. This resulted in a transition from sales into Project Manager for the completion and installation of 14,000 PC's across the State of Texas. Her career with Dell was interrupted by love for an artist in Taos, New Mexico, whom she married in 1994 and left Austin and Dell. In 1996, she and her husband opened an art gallery in Taos. Dos Lunas Gallery operated successfully for 8 years. Back in the real world again, Vanessa worked as Technical Support Manager for a software company that specialized in Ticketing, Point-of-Sale and Guest Management solutions for Ski Resorts, Park & Attractions and Museums & Non-profits (supporting
FoxPro
and
SQL
). She now is the Project Manager for Brownrice Internet and loving every minute of it. At Brownrice, when not managing everyone's tasks and deadlines, she pitches in and helps with support calls and testing.
David Wilson
Programmer and Systems Administrator
Dave wasn't a computer expert at age ten. In those days computers were
the size of a house 
and run by the military, so his parents couldn't afford one. Also, the
punchcard reader
was too noisy. Instead, he studied hard at electrical engineering thinking that one day he'd get a job working on
thermionic valves
and
magnetic core drives
that were at the heart of computer technology at that time. Those days are long past and technology has moved on but at Brownrice there is still one vestige of the ancient computer arts which he is still able to draw upon on a daily basis: an arcane knowledge of the
Unix operating system
Geordie Robb
Programmer
Geordie Robb's first experience with a computing machine was back in 1972 at Deerfield Elementary School on an ancient
Teletype ASR 33
. There he learned the basics of
BASIC
, and the code of Hammurabi. Geordie graduated from the University of Vermont in 1990 with a BA in Economics. Geordie's natural inclination toward creating order out of chaos took root when he was asked to build a small website/database project as a favor. He soon found himself flooded with requests to build a wide array of web applications which required learning how to leverage the most up to date web technologies available. Geordie has been providing Brownrice Internet with Software Consulting, Web Programming and Database Design services since 2002. Geordie is the lead developer for the wildly successful family of CultureGrants Online applications that are currently taking the Arts Grant world by storm. He is now working on a new project (still a secret) which will take location based services to a new level of sophistication, putting the latest spatial analysis tools into the hands of the everyday user. He recently moved from sunny New Mexico to Portland, Oregon where it is easier to work inside all day.
Matt Alexander
Programmer
Though Matt has been an avid web developer since he was fourteen, his passion for actual programming began when he was eighteen. Writing in
Visual Basic
for
Microsoft Access
, Matt built a network of databases to store marketing, production and sales data for a small East coast publishing company. He found Taos the way many people do: While road tripping in 2002, he stopped in Taos one day to have a sandwich and never left. He has a great passion for
interface design
, web development, print design and database administration. He always keeps himself informed of new web development technologies. He specializes in database architecture, query building and
object oriented
PHP5
programming.
Dawn Chandler
Tester, Support Technician, Project Manager
Dawn became immersed in the world of computers in the early 1990s when she invested in her first
Mac IIci
. She has been a die hard Mac user ever since, perpetually expanding her skills on the Mac in the pursuit of further expanding her graphic and web design skills. The former executive director of a non-profit organization, as well as an occasional freelance typist, proofreader, organizer and designer, Dawn is a natural administrator. Armed with a BFA degree in painting from Miami University of Ohio and MFA degree in painting from the University of Pennsylvania, when not busy testing Brownrice Internet sites, Dawn works as a professional artist.
Joel Morey
Programmer
Joel began programming at the age of ten on a
Commodore 64
, building games in
BASIC
and later moved on to full fledged programming in
C
. At sixteen, he worked as technical support and computer repair technician for an
ISP
. He attended college at Texas Tech University where he majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. At nineteen, he began programming professionally in
Java
and was assigned to help in the re-design and re-implementation of the largest commodities trading website of that time (xpresstrade.com). He now continues his programming career at Brownrice Internet where he works with other talented individuals to build high quality applications.
Michael Nezi
Sales Manager / Tester / Support Tech
Michael received a BS in Marketing from Miami University of Ohio. After graduation he moved to Taos where he learned how to grow organic food and started his
own farm 
and non-profit organization. In recent years, Michael has 'bought' the farm and has ventured indoors where the digital age captivates his attention. He has worked as the Web Master for
a dot com
, as the Web Marketing Director with a prominent Web design firm, and has specialized in online content conversions for publishers of elearning platforms. He joined the team at Brownrice Internet to assist in their marketing efforts and to find
more companies
in need of their services. You can still find Michael at
the farmer's market
on Saturday mornings during the summer months.
