Hello and Welcome to ShaneBrady.Net!

My name is Shane Brady and I’m an undergraduate student at Fort Lewis College in Durango Colorado. Over the years I’ve developed a passion for helping people to maximize technology for their benefit. I believe that technology—whether computers, web sites, web applications, e-mail, etc—should work for you. You should not need to rearrange your life, business practices, or goals in order to accommodate the application of technology.

As a student at Fort Lewis College I am studying Computer Science; focusing primarily on the programming implications behind technology. In addition, I am pursuing minors in Accounting, Business Administration, and Mathematics. This education is being paired with a invaluable opportunity to work for the Information Technology department at Fort Lewis College as a Network and Telecommunications specialist. I have also worked on the Faculty/Staff support helpdesk and in the academic computer labs. The pairing of education and real life experience is helping me prepare to work in the area of my passion.

In addition to my day to day work I also enjoy web development and web application design. Over the past several months I have focused on web application development projects such as a staff portal, content management system upgrades/deployments, and basic interface designs. Many of these applications run on PHP and MySQL.

A Matter of Faith

I’m also a avid believer in the grace of God. The shear thought that a perfect, just, and ever present God would care about a flawed race absolutely fascinates. God has managed to escape every box of classification and explanation that I have ever tried to put him in. If you have never taken time to investigate the life of Jesus, I would strongly encourage you to do so. Lee Strobel has written several books that approach the life and claims of Jesus Christ from a scientific perspective (The Case for Faith, The Case for Christ,The Case for a Creator, etc.). Also, C.S. Lewis wrote several books that considers Christianity from a logical perspective (Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters). Finally, you may also consider Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life as an additional resource.

As a matter of tact, I do not believe in religion. I believe that God has called everyone to a relationship. Religion is man’s attempt to become perfect enough to be justified in the eyes of God. This is a task that will never be fulfilled and it causes so many people to miss the point all together. Instead, I pursue a relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf.

Thank you for visiting!
