Brad started RopeofSilicon.com in 2003 as a hobby and a way to possibly create an online portfolio in an attempt to get work as a freelance writer. Suddenly he realized he was having a hell of a lot of fun spawning the site you see here today and the changing designs you see above. He is now a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and has been running RopeofSilicon.com as his full-time job since 2007.
