About me

Hi, I’m Brandon. I’m a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft on the Windows Insider Program Team and self-professed nerd. This blog is my place to talk about nerd things that are of interest to me.

I’ve been at Microsoft for over 16 years now. Before working on the Windows Insider Program Team, I was the Editor-in-Chief for the Windows Blog. And before that, I was a blogger who wrote about Microsoft at my previous website called MSTechToday as well as several other outlets. I was also a Microsoft MVP for 2008 and 2009. My background is mostly in business and technology with a splash of social media. 

You could say that I belong to a few fandoms. I am a HUGE fan of Star Trek. I’m also a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the movies from Marvel Studios), Batman, Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and of course everything Microsoft including Windows, Xbox, and Surface.

As part of belonging to those fandoms, I have several “nerd collections” I invest in. I collect Minimates from Diamond Select Toys for example. I also collect Batman action figures from McFarlane Toys and various movie action figures from NECA such as their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990's live action movies line. And I absolutely love building LEGO sets.

I am also a huge fan of The Beatles, Foo Fighters, and Weezer. I have a growing collection of vinyl records. 

In addition to all that – I really enjoy going on long road trips with my camera and taking photos. I’d go as far as to say I am an aspiring amateur photographer.

Oh and there’s my dog Kilo!
