About Terrance M. Gaines

I have been interested in technology ever since I can remember. It started when me and my brother (That would make him BrothER Tech) went shoveling snow in order to make enough money to buy the “Metal Gear” game more our NES we got for Christmas.

I grew up in the “beeper” era, so you know I was all over that..58008. Then in college, cell-phones started getting affordable, so I guess I became a cell-phone addict via my first Nokia phone

I think I realized I was a techie for real when I worked at an electronics store selling Audio/Video & computer gear to make some money during college. As a result of my skills (yes, I got skills!), I was given the title “Tech Guy” by family and friends. I’ve always stayed on top of the latest tech trends for my own personal enjoyment, and on the side, would inform those around me on how to use technology to empower their lives.

Initially, my blog started out as a static website to advertise my Audio/Video installation services. As I got deeper into talking about technology in general (that’s where the “Jack of All Tech” comes from), I decided to expand and just do technology consulting in general. So in 2008, I got into blogging and switched over the site.

Shortly after, the writing bug got me, and I started writing about technology on Black Web2.0 (my first gig) and it grew from there. So in addition to consulting, I guess that makes me a Freelance Technology Blogger/Writer as well. That’s cool, since I’m pretty good at writing + I like talking about technology = I write about Technology.

But let’s not talk about hiring me here (There’s a Hire Me page for that)…

We can talk about the fact that I’m the loving husband to Mrs. Tech, to whom I’ve known since 1996 and married in 2004.

…and devoted dad to my two daughters (Lil’ Tech who is my oldest followed by Tech 2.o who is my youngest).

We dare you to try and be as cute as we are!

So that’s the short-story of BrothaTech. Count on my site to give you more than just the technology I think you should know about, but also how I integrate technology into my life as well – Gotta walk the walk

…enjoy!
