Founder & Principal of BLC Technologies, Inc. Building computer systems since 1979.
Brian has built computer systems since the start of the microcomputer era — first as a co-founder of a hardware company, now as the engineer behind BLC Technologies.
Where it started
In 1979 Brian co-founded Quasar Data Products in North Olmsted, Ohio, later renamed QDP Computer Systems. QDP designed and built Z80 and Z8000 microcomputers sold worldwide, and its ruggedized systems went to sea aboard U.S. Navy ships, including USS Lexington. In its later years QDP built high-specification graphics cards for CAD on IBM PCs.
Alongside the engineering, Brian flew: as an Iowa Air National Guard fighter pilot, in the U.S. Air Force (Active Duty and Reserves), and with United Airlines, where he was a pilot and a Captain for over 36 years. He went on to complete a Master’s degree and thesis in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Colorado, and later a PhD.
Our history, 1979 to today →How BLC works with clients
BLC builds and looks after websites, servers, email and AI-assisted systems. The same rules apply to every job:
Backups first
Every change starts with a backup and a way to undo it.
Check before changing
Read-only checks come first, so nothing is changed on a guess.
You approve changes
Nothing goes live — by hand or by AI — without your OK.
Brian also teaches. He has lectured in hundreds of venues across the U.S. and Canada over more than 30 years, was the founding President of Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship, and is on the faculty of Scofield Biblical Institute.
