My name is Brock.
I am a web developer, an atheist, a DC resident, and a bit of a movie enthusiast. I try to write about those topics at least now and again, but this site is mostly just a bunch of crap about my life.
I grew up outside Buffalo, NY, and went to RIT. In November 2005, I moved to the Washington, DC metro area. For the most part, it’s been pretty good to me. These days, I live a couple blocks from Chinatown in DC with my lovely wife Erin and our Bichon, Lola May, and work for a PR firm downtown.
