Bryan leads the Web development team for JS Creative, bringing technology and consulting experience he’s been perfecting since his college days as a moonlighting Web consultant. He oversees all lifecycle management for our Web work, supervising the design from planning to production.
He came to Jackson Spalding after serving as the Web Developer for the Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Computing. There he was responsible for the technical architecture of the primary college Web site in addition to other internal and external-facing sites.
Bryan served for seven years as the Senior IT Manager in the Web Development group for the Southern Regional Extension Forestry department, a position that involved strategic planning with multiple clients within the natural resources industry. Part of this work involved grant writing that resulted in more than $1 million in funding. In the months following Hurricane Katrina, he also led the crisis management team charged with mitigating the financial devastation facing affected timberland owners.
He’s a self-described “tinkerer” who has enjoyed analyzing the way gadgets work since he received his first computer in 1988. A lucky stroke of timing placed him in college as the online world was first emerging, allowing him to start a Web consulting business that attracted 200 clients from several countries.
Bryan graduated from the University of Georgia and attended Georgia State University for graduate work in computer science. His research on Web applications has been presented at the Natural Resources Information Management Forum and published in the journal, Forest Ecology and Management.
A Smyrna native, Bryan now lives in the Oak Grove area of DeKalb County where he loves to entertain wife April and daughter Lilly with his guitar licks.
