Meet Brian Shirey
I am an avid learner who has found Raleigh, N.C. to be a great environment for pursuing my career goals and personal interests. When I'm not exploring the latest and greatest web technologies, I like to spend my time relaxing and getting my hands dirty. I like to be outdoors as much as possible, whether that entails taking my dog for a walk at the park (this area has a plethora of great parks and lakes) or sitting out on the patio observing the none-too-shy wildlife. Since my early teens, I've always had an extensive collection of tropical and subtropical plants; orchids, bromeliads, ferns and succulents - you name it, I've probably grown it. I also have a number of freshwater fish tanks, and I'm currently suffering from killifish fever.
