I’ve lived in Pennsylvania, Alaska, Louisiana, New York, Massachusetts and Ontario. One thing my colleagues don’t know about me: I have a large and growing collection of masks.

	Ryan LeBreton Assistant Director of Digital Communication Phone: 570-577-3122 Email: lebreton@bucknell.edu Services/Specialties: HTML/CSS, XML/XSLT, ASP.NET (and just about any other acronym you can imagine), Flash, Photoshop, web development training, small database design and programming, resisting the urge to drink coffee even though it smells so good... Bio/Background Info: My story begins in 1996 as a young Bucknell chemistry student with almost no computer expertise (does MS Paint count?). After landscaping all summer after my freshman year, I saved up enough money and bought a shiny new Pentium II 233 and decided to find out what this whole internet fad was that I kept hearing about. I taught myself some basic HTML and, after several questionable design iterations, created what would eventually become the second-largest (but arguably the best) Chris Farley fan site on the internet at the time. Eventually the fame and fortune got to be too much, and I had to make the tough decision to step down. As you can expect, it has all been downhill since that wild ride. Where do you go from there, really? One thing my colleagues don't know about me: I would absolutely love to meet Cesar Milan. One thing I plan to learn this year: What it's like to be an uncle and how to hold a baby without looking awkward.
