Programmer Geek who runs a major Transformers website

About Me

Born in Michigan. Originally raised in Fenton. Went to school in Linden. Class of '95. Skipped college. Sold cars for about 4 years. Began my Transformers website , SEIBERTRON.com , in June 2000. Started working in radio later that year as a PHP website programmer for Clear Channel Broadcasting in Grand Rapids. Loved it. Nickname "Rhyno" catches on amongst friends and co-workers. Moved to Chicago back in 2002 to pursue same position at CC. Hated it. Got a job at a website development in Chicago as an ASP website programmer (where I'm currently employed in 2006) that handles about 2,500 websites. Love it. Transformers website is still thriving on the side ... 150,000+ pageviews per day, 24,000+ members. Apparently I'm going after the wrong women for being a programmer and collecting Transformers. Go figure. PHP rocks.
Go see the live action Dreamworks/Steven Spielberg/Michael Bay Transformers movie July 4th, 2007. In the meantime, you can view the official movie website at TransformersMovie.com .
SNAKES ON A TRANSFORMER
Sit Back. Relax. Enjoy Your Fright. I'm pretty damn excited about next weekend's upcoming cult classic " Snakes on a Plane ". To show my appreciation, I've put together a few special galleries featuring Samuel L. Jackson and 3 "snake" Transformers . The first gallery features the evil Predacon Quickstrike from Beast Wars. Enjoy!
If you don't have any idea what "Snakes on a Plane" is about, check out the official SnakesOnAPlane.com website. To find out about why people are so crazy about this movie before it even hits theatres on August 18th, check out Wikipedia's entry about Snakes on a Plane .
Here's a special promotional image I created for this theme ...
