VikingCoders

Description

Michael "Brock" Brock, a physicist by education, programmer/developer by circumstance. With the birth of Miva Merchant, he found a new hobby writing modules for his wife's toy store. After 8 years as a patent examiner with the US Patent and Trademark Office, the comfort of a nice cushy job in the bureaucracy wore off and the hobby became a career choice as a full-time developer with Starbase-21. After 19 months with Starbase, the latter months as Head of Development, he was released into the world, ready to become a useful member of society. Enjoys aquariums, soccer, family, dogs, zoos, fireflies, new hobbies, the atmosphere, and lots of other stuff, too numerous to mention.

(Michael also swears that he makes an appearance on a Discovery channel show about lightning—any footage of the long haired, pre-civilization Brock, will earn the admiration of the rest of the VikingCoders crew. We're also investigating the possiblity that Brock is descended from the legendary Brok, maker of Thor's hammer.)

Adam became a Viking Coder in lieu of a career as a professional golfer. He says he couldn't bear to wear the golf pants. Adam found himself addicted to markup and scripting languages in college, and, after a stint teaching philosophy at BCCC, decided to shift gears and accept an e-commerce development position in 1999. He's been working with Miva Script since then, and has worked on projects with many prominent Miva Partners such as PHOSPHOR Media, Design Extend, and Wump Services. He also wrote and maintains the MvCODE Library and the MvList Archive. Adam would love to take credit for coming up with the domain name, but, in truth, it was a friend who suggested the idea after a (few?) beer(s?) at a pub in Lawrence, KS. Outside of coding and mulligans, Adam enjoys music, movies, gadgets, ponds, frisbee golf, college basketball (he tends to disappear in March), good drink, and good conversation.
