Brandon's StatsNotes from BrandonWelcome to my O-Nerd User Page! Below is a little about me and my interests. (See the various content tabs for my thoughts, including posts like: a miracle diet, welfare plan, plane boarding plan, energy crisis plan, and a gun control plan.) FamilyI’m located in Houston, TX and live with my wife, Kari and (as of October 7, 2007) my son, Collin. My dad, mom (twice), twin and younger brothers, father-in-law and sister-in-law are all O-Nerds. Education and EmploymentI graduated from the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science in 1997 and graduated Magna Cum Laude (that’s right; I said it) from Texas A&M University in December of 2003 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I went to work for Cameron, where I designed subsea trees for 3.5 years. I’m currently employed at Shell as a subsea hardware engineer. ReligionI am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served a two-year mission in the Korea Pusan Mission from Dec 1998 – Dec 2000. I’m currently a member of the Wheatstone Ward, Cypress Texas Stake and am serving as the Ward Executive Secretary. I enjoy religious discussion, but I think much of it suffers from close-mindedness. Too many show a propensity to latch onto rumors or heresay concerning the beliefs of others – particularly those about whom they know little. In that light, here are some links to usually quality and reliable information on my faith:
Additionally, the following are especially interesting articles or videos on religious topics:
ArtI paint. My oil paintings are available for sale at at TheAbstractHome.com here. I enjoy looking at art, but not over-analyzing it. I have some Mark Rothko hanging in my house. A good friend of mine runs a mobile store at Konrads.com and Hanging Mobile Gallery.com. MusicI’m an audiophile. I enjoy indie, indie rock, emo, punk, punk-pop, hardcore, alternative, and post all of those genres (e.g., post-punk, post-hardcore, etc.). If you’d like more info on my taste, I publish a short article with my music purchases each month. Here’s a link to all of them. Places to Discover/Buy Music

SportsI enjoy college football and basketball – mostly those of my alma mater.
