As Chief Technical Architect and Strategist, he is always at the top of his game and ready to help the engineering and creative teams succeed at completing any challenge. Through Kevin's leadership and planning, the company has faced tremendous growth and continues to grow daily. He's also pretty darn competitive at foosball too.

Kevin's experiences prior to joining Apartment Home Living span both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds. As a founding partner of Meridian Internet Services, Inc. Kevin was instrumental in designing, branding, and managing a network of social networking communities which garnered nearly 1 million registered users. During his time with Meridian, he was a key player in the creation of Meridian World Data, a leading provider of geographic data used in online and software applications.

As IT Manager, Rick is responsible for hardware and software use at Apartment Home Living. His valued contribution as a team member doesn't stop there however. Rick is also the lead developer as well has hands in making sure the software we develop works on the hardware we run.

As the most tenured member of the AHL, Rick has worked extremely hard and put a lot of time and effort into helping the company into what it is today. Rick developed the very popular original digital brochure for managers, which has evolved considerably with input from others over time. He often gets nostalgic just looking at it. He's very proud of the engineering team that he has the pleasure of working with and can't help but be amazed at the collective accomplishments that his fellow team members have achieved and will continue to achieve through time.

Although from an advertising and customer service background, Rick switched gears while working for a printing company that needed a website for inventory control and print on demand. The budget was non-existent, but he was determined to get it done. Thus, a programmer was born! Originally from McAllen,Texas, Rick spends his down time playing guitar, creating 3d games and riding his mountain bike.

As Senior Software Engineer, Michael plays a huge role in the inner-workings of the "spaceship" we call ApartmentHomeLiving.com. On a daily basis he must engineer solutions to complex problems that range from abstract software to system level solutions. Depending on the tasks at hand and the tools required, Michael is an integral part in the successful functioning and operation of ApartmentHomeLiving.com and often finds that simplicity leads to robust solutions.

When he's not helping make things work around here, this Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate of THE Ohio State University enjoys learning more about technology, computational theory and the ways of the Universe. Michael also spends time increasing his knowledge of programming languages and the different distinctions between them. In addition to that he generally enjoys gaming as well as dabbling in various musical endeavors. Most recently, he's even started gardening with his fiancée Alicia.

Michael has been working with/in technology for as long as he can remember. At age 12 he began programming and hasn't really stopped since. He considers himself more of an engineer/programmer than a web technologist simply because he believes web technology is a fairly niche concept. He tends to look beyond the scope of a singular platform or protocol.

Michael's favorite quote: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -Leonardo Da Vinci

Originally from a small Indiana town outside Chicago, Eric (aka The Matador) has moved all over the United States before landing in Austin as a Graphic Designer for Apartment Home Living in early 2006.

A vital member of the AHL team, he attended UT-Arlington and has been given the opportunity to help design, code and style the majority of ApartmentHomeLiving.com's interface since the first major redesign. Eric also assists in designing and delivering newsletter and e-zine content, print media and helping to develop new aspects of ApartmentHomeLiving.com as well as Apartments.com. Officially, Eric has had over 4 years experience in web/technology, but his true experience began much earlier as a child goofing around with his Grandfather's Commodore 64.

In his spare time Eric enjoys doing nerdy web design stuff, photography, tennis, people watching in Austin, mountain biking, hammocks, significant others, and keeping his moat in top shape so it continues to refuse unwanted intruders. Notably, Eric's photography was once featured in an urban Italian magazine called "Defrag." When asked, "If you only could only have one type of food the rest of your life, what would it be?" Eric simply answered, "The Everlasting Gobstopper…Booya! Think about it." Touché, Eric. Touché.

A Marketing Analyst for Apartment Home Living, Brianne does a little bit of it all. From sales support and customer service to building ads to marketing, social media and graphic design, Brianne's skills have been a true asset to the team since the Summer of 2005.

Originally from Brandon, Mississippi, Brianne attended the University of Southern Mississippi where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Communication. Much of her graphic skill can be seen in Apartment Home Living's as she has helped to develop the company's logotype of corporate visual identity in 2006. A notable past accomplishment includes being awarded a PRism award for her work with a past company's in house magazine.

When she isn't working, there is nothing Brianne loves to do more for fun than spending time with her husband Chris and her daughter Betty, who was born January 2009.

Brian is a master of tomfoolery who works as a Graphic Designer at ApartmentHomeLiving.com. The self-proclaimed "Graphicalizer," Brian is a whiz at creating graphics and vector art for both print and web, but also has a strong hand in on the Engineering side through comprehensive testing and coding knowledge.

Brian brings with him over 4 years in the technology and design industries including experience working as a Production/Design Manager for a group of 6 local newspapers which has helped him fit right in at ApartmentHomeLiving.com. A Texas Tech alum, Brian proudly displays his Black and Red Lubbock roots. You'll often find Brian skipping on lunch to hit the rock gym or the boulders and he's never afraid to impress others with his fake Jamaican-Irish fusion accent. Brian would like to give a shout out to all of those homeless pirates!

As a graphic designer who happens to know how to program, Brandon McKinney provides a unique perspective on things as a Software Engineer at AHL. From his slowmo style of foosball to designing and coding user-interfaces with his JavaScript specialty, Brandon has his hand in many of the cookie jars at ApartmentHomeLiving.com.

In 1998, when Brandon received a graphing calculator, he learned the BASIC programming language and his love for programming computers to do more and more stuff for him was born, followed by a swift decline in handwriting skills. Since the early days, Brandon has developed using a wide variety of languages, including, Visual Basic, C+, Perl, HTML, JavaScript, PHP, ASP Classic (and reluctantly .Net), and Flash, to name a couple. While his focus has been primarily on web development, Brandon has also developed various kiosks, server-maintenance utilities, API utilities and plugins as well.

After hours, you can try to catch up with Brandon around Austin, but be warned, he's a bit sporadic in his extra-curricular activities. You might find Brandon anywhere from the local music store, or a show, watching a band to Zilker Park playing pick-up soccer to cooking a gourmet meal at home from any random culinary genre (mmmm...habaneros) or even a short drive away at the beach.

Brandon's favorite quotes:

"The two must abundant things in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity." - Harlan Ellison

"Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein

Mr. Ortiz... where to begin? Sure he's a coder monkey. Sure he checks himself in to the zoo on weekends just for kicks. What you probably don't know though is Rob has an intensely gentle, fragile heart behind that hairy, rough exterior. Just look at those cautious, weary, yet sensitive eyes. Here is an ape, NAY, ape-MAN who has seen it all and is still here to tell us about it. So brave and fearless that he eats fake zoo rock for dinner on Friday's just because he CAN. I don't care who you are, friend, you have to respect that.

So for that we are ridiculously grateful to have him as part of our team and would no doubt be lost at sea in an ocean of a thousand hungry shark-ostrich hybrids without his advice and interjections from a life well lived.

Chris left his formerly lavish life as a part-time senior accountant / part-time bouncer / part-time stand-in extra on fraggle rock to come work for Apartment Home Living part-time. While nothing at the office has been the same since he arrived, he insists on constantly reminding us of his 'famous' role (if you look closely in Season 4's "Uncle Matt's Discovery" Chris can be seen drinking a diet Dr. Pepper in the background) and regaling us with tales of how Red used to hit on him all the time, those twenty hours per week he's here can seemingly last for years. We would also like to mention by the time he arrived on the show it was already well into its decline and had strayed significantly from its existential roots.

With all that being said there is no one quite like him (and not only because he does our taxes). We're happy to have him be part of our team, and just like the rest of the monkeys with us are teaching them a valuable lesson: That they should always submit their bio pics and summaries on time. We could have done something with 'poo' but it seemed to drastic a measure for such cool people.
