Linux. KDE. Open Source. Refuses to own an iPod. Drives a Mini Cooper. Brad's a Senior Content Engineer at OpenLogic but get this: he's also been a ski patrol guy, basketball coach, line cook, and trainer at HP (for starters). Brad has earned his guru status, and - if you want something done? Folks actually refer to him as the "office do-er of everything". Cooks veggies in all manner of delicious ways, but eats only meat. Able to benchpress any given 17 year old. This guy? Totally deserves the superman logo and if it weren't for that pesky copyright, we'd give it to him. In color.
