I work for Tektronix as an Information Architect. I also chair the OASIS XLIFF Technical Committee. For 10 years I was a head coach for various youth hockey teams. Most recently I was the head coach for the Sherwood High School hockey team (5 seasons). I have not coached for a few years now, but I have a feeling I might coach again in the coming years. I am a ski enthusiast (season ticket holder each year at Mt. Hood Meadows in Oregon). My latest hobby (obsession) is to try to write and record an album of all these songs rattling around in my head (write the songs, play all the instruments, record using Logic software). I seem to be collecting guitars lately. My goals is the actually release a CD.
I have a wife and two children. My wife and I live in Sherwood Oregon. My son lives in Eugene Oregon (just graduated from the University of Oregon, preparing for Law School there). My daughter lives in Portland Oregon and attends Portland State University (pre-med).
It's funny, I have three social media accounts, and on each, I have a distinct "persona" I'm trying to pull off.
You can find me at Bryan Schnabel on linkedin. I try my best to be a respectable business type. Although I do use a picture of me playing bass. I head the very serious XLIFF group on linkedin. But on the other hand, I also head the "Respectable Business People Who Love Raucous Music" group.
You can find me at bryanschnabelmusik. I post my songs, try to act cool, and do the usual bio stuff. In some cases I think it would be dreadful if my linkedin crowd ever met my myspace music crowd.
To find me on Twitter, look up @bryanschnabel. On Twitter, I'm kind of all over the map. I have not decided whether to be a professional business person, a music guy, or some kind of geeky-programmer-guitar player-ski bum-guitar collector. Luckily, I have only one follower.
I have a social email address that most of my friends already know. So I won't post it here. You can reach me at my "commercial" email address, jedi.grunge (at) gmail (dot) com.
