Site info

Owner and Publisher. I am the owner and the publisher of Bjorn3D.com. I have been in the computer industry since 1983 starting as a repair technician. I currently work for a local IT consulting firm in Eufaula, Alabama. I handle technical services and customer service for the company. We handle work in a 150 mile radius around Eufaula. Oh and if you ever saw the movie Sweet Home Alabama you have seen my town, it was used in the scene when she goes home and you see the big southern mansions. Those are located in our historic district.

I have 3 children with my oldest daughter Jackie being 14, Stephanie being 12 and my son Zac 9. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats to end up making up a full house. And last but not least I am married a very wonderful lady name Kathie. For fun we enjoy taking trips down to Disneyworld about 4 times a year and going on Disney cruises every other year. I am also an avid gamer and enjoy first person gaming and good simulations. During the school year Bjorn3D sponsors youth soccer, basketball and baseball. Besides sponsoring the teams I also coach them.

Feel free to contact me anytime with questions about the site, arranging products for review and advertising on Bjorn3D.

Miles Cheatham
Editor in Chief.   Miles (AKA "Miles") Cheatham is by day a mild mannered database administrator in the healthcare industry and at night his wild side comes out here at Bjorn3D. He has that consumate "Rebel with a Cause" spirit that keeps his ideas young despite his age. Miles began as a Product Reviewer in February, 2006 and was promoted to Product Review Manager in January, 2007. After a largely successful 2007, Miles was again promoted to Editor in Chief and given the task of helping Scott in running many of the day to day operations of the site.

Gregory Gonsowski
Managing Editor. I am a Senior PC Analyst. I graduated from Wagner College where I played ice hockey and earned a B.S. in Computer Science. I currently work for the State of New York Criminal Court and on weekends I am a hockey coach / skating instructor for children 12 and under. When I am not working I am spending time with my beautiful wife and son whom support me with every crazy idea that comes across my head. I got into gaming at 8 when I was given the SEGA master system (8-bits baby!) for my birthday and I become engrossed with computers when my family got our first PC in 1993. (It was a Packard Bell 486 DX2 66 MHz 4MB RAM box that resembled a computer running Windows 3.11). The rest was history as I started tinkering with settings here and removing hard drives there. Next thing I knew I was building my own PC and quickly becoming the guru of the family. I am a Role Player at heart when it comes to games and started back in the days of pen and paper D&D. My proudest moment was when I convinced my wife (my girlfriend at the time) to join me in World of Warcraft and I knew once she rolled an undead priestess that this was the woman for me.

Björn Endre
Founder and Webmaster. I started the site way back in 1996 when Rendition and 3dfx released their first 3d-accelerators. Since then I've run the site, the last few years together with Scott and Miles. In 2008 I've stepped down to let more motivated people take care of the site while I concentrate on administration of the webserver, doing web development as well as very occasionally doing a review or two.

Ryan Kerschner
Reviewer. Ryan Kerschner is a full-time helpdesk technician at Friends University in Wichita, KS. He enjoys computer and console gaming just as much as the next computer nerd, and also plays lots of paintball. Ryan is married and has a house with two cats, which is probably more than you wanted to know.

Robert Tanner
Reviewer. Tech junkie, hardware computer enthusiast, nerd-wannabe, they probably all are adjectives that will fit. If I’m not studying at the University of Texas, San Antonio for a bachelor’s degree, then you can likely find me on the Bjorn3D forums or online playing Company of Heroes! I quickly developed an interest in computers and overclocking when back in my high school days someone turned my 500mhz Compaq TBird into a stable 948mhz machine that still works great even today. After building my first system completely on my own in 2002/2003, I’ve been permanently hooked since!

Victor Wu
News Editor. I am currently studying biochemistry and doing research in molecular biology.  I never got into computers until I built my first system around 2000.  Ever since then, I am hooked, just can't get enough of it and I am still learning about it every single day.  I love to play the RPG type of games when I got time from studying, working, posting on the sites, and browsing webs.

Clint Peitz
Reviewer. Clint Peitz works for a Christian university as a desktop support analyst. He has been there for 7 years and enjoys working on the computers on campus. He has a passion for troubleshooting and loves to learn new things. He is an avid gamer and loves playing at LAN parties. When he is not reviewing, he is enjoying life with his beautiful wife and ever growing son. He does have other passions including wildlife, the environment, and helping the church he is a part of further the Kingdom.

Rob Zanin
Reviewer.  Rob Zanin is a University of Georgia graduate interested in combining elements of copywriting with literary criticism, technical writing, and experience design. He has won numerous awards for short fiction, poetry, and stage writing, and his work has been quoted in publications as large as the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Robert has been an avid computer enthusiast since 1988 when he first played the War in Middle Earth RTS on his Apple IIGS. He became fascinated to the point of boredom watching all the NPCs sleep in real-time and immediately switched to PC. Since then, he has resurrected countless Frankensteinian systems from the closet scrap yards of friends, and assumes no responsibility for embedding Flash movies or the future of Humanities Computing.

Richard Bradford
Reviewer.  Richard has been involved in the health care industry for over 20 years. He's a graduate of St. Louis University where he studied computer science and fine art. Richard's first PC was a Texas Instruments Ti-99/4A back in the early 1980s and he's been hooked on computers ever since. His passions include electronic gadgets of all types, building computer systems and playing PC games (especially shooters).

Shannon Piel
Reviewer.  What can I say other then I am a game addict, have been all my life. I enjoy both console and PC gaming since I do not discriminate. During the day I am an Account Manager with XFX and when the sun goes down I do my best to stay out of trouble. While I may be a nerd, I am not your typical hardware geek. As a former United States Marine I also enjoy many more physical hobbies such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. An avid fan of the UFC I never miss a fight (Pay-per-view loves me). I am married to a wonderful woman but no kids yet as I am enough child for the both of us at the moment.

Steven Peters
Reviewer.  Steve is what most people call a 'tech junkie'. He is into all the latest and greatest technology gizmos and gadgets and his wife is constantly frustrated with not only his new purchases, but his constant tinkering with everything in the house that plugs into the wall. During the day he is a US Army Recruiter, it helps to support his habit until he starts school to study computer hardware engineering.
