Hello, welcome to my web site. My name is Wade Brainerd and I'm a programmer who lives in South Portland, Maine.
I work for a video game publisher named Activision
in Santa Monica, California. I'm 30 years old, and I've been working in the industry since I was 17.
I was born in Blue Hill, Maine and grew up in Orono, home to the University of Maine.
I graduated from Orono High School class of 1996, but didn't go to college (yet).
I recently bought a house in South Portland, where I live with my wife Jennie and two cats.
