Brendan McFarland
EngineerProfessional Bio:
Received my first computer (Apple IIc with a monochrome screen) in grade school and have been tinkering with them ever since. Been online since the early 90s before the internet even had graphics. Turned my computer interest into a career by taking a job providing technical support for a national ISP, where I learned a great deal about internet and computer support. This was followed by several years spent working at other technology support-based positions. I have been with Dorset Connects for 3 years.
Personal Bio:

Always had my heart set on a career in radio, practically lived at the campus radio station, graduated and found a job at a Harrisburg FM station…and left 3 months later for a computer career with much better pay and more stability. Moved to Denver, CO in Sept 2001 (was driving through Kansas on 9/11) got married and moved back to Delaware 3 years later to be with family and friends.
