=== A lot about me ===
Some folks have asked me why I add my two middle initials when I sign my name. I do it to make it easy to tell me apart from the more famous folks that also have the name Brandon Sanders. My four names are a brief sketch of my family tree. The first three names come from the gals and the last name comes from the fellas:
{|
| Brandon || - || maternal Grandma born Evelina Brandon.
|-
| Clark || - || paternal Grandma born Delores Clark.
|-
| Schoepflin || - || wife born Shelley Schoepflin.
|-
| Sanders || - || dad born Robert Sanders.
|}
I'm proud of my family and the sacrifices they've made so that I could have more opportunities than they.
My dad is a journeyman model maker who runs 4B, a small [http://www.4bformtools.com Wire EDM] shop. I inherit my creativity and passion for inventing from him. My mom is a journeyman die maker who nurtures our family and does the books for 4B. I inherit my attention to detail and passion for justice from her. Thanks mom and dad!
[[Image:BrandonJibing 2006 September.jpg|left|thumb|Jibing at the Event Site in Hood River. I fell 8 seconds later.]] My self-education also includes a few credentials ... a BSE (June 1998) in Electrical Engineering from [http://www.wallawalla.edu/ Walla Walla College] (now University) and a PhD (August 1, 2005) in Computer Science from the [http://www.cs.rochester.edu/ University of Rochester]. In addition to my job at [http://www.aboutus.org AboutUs], I am involved in starting the [[SolSeedMovement]] and love to go windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge with Shelley (yes she is better than me <nowiki><sigh></nowiki>).
I hope to see you around :-)
