One of his titles was recently recommended to viewers by Scott Gurvey, Bureau Chief, on the \u003ci\u003eNightly Business Report\u003c\/i\u003e on PBS, and his books have won awards including an Award of Merit from the Northern California Technical Communications Competition and the Referenceware Excellence Award for best title in the Graphic Design and Multimedia category.\u003cbr\u003e Brian has been involved in personal computers from their beginning and has a background in electrical engineering. His last “real” job was as a Senior Programmer\/Analyst for a large company, where he worked hard to bring the power and freedom of PCs to the desktops.\u003cbr\u003e Brian figures that it’s the author who should do the work so that readers can get their money’s worth.
