The Team

Joel Brown – CoFounder

I first got into hosting, websites, and web development during college when I was trying to set up a phpBB message board for my Ultimate Frisbee Team. Those skills got me started doing some part-time design and development jobs. Then, Ben and I started working together on several of our own projects in and around the hosting industry that eventually led us here.

When I’m not working I still love to play Ultimate Frisbee. I like skiing, hiking, climbing, kayaking — pretty much anything in the mountains. I also love to learn about science and philosophy, and am particularly fascinated by neuroscience.

                    

Ben Welch-Bolen – CoFounder

My Dad sparked my interest in computers when I was very young and since he was a system administrator I was lucky to always have a great teacher around. I grew up playing computer games and messing with QBasic but it wasn’t until the internet emerged that I was hooked. I still remember my Dad showing me the internet for the first time and how amazed I was. Suddenly there was a way to travel around the world but never leave your chair, read unlimited amounts of info without having to buy books, a way to reach millions of people with your ideas, and most importantly nobody cared how old you were. Shortly after I scraped together enough money to build my first computer and started learning how to build websites. And since I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was a little kid everything just clicked.

Outside of websites, web hosting and other online projects you can usually find me traveling, reading, running, and playing ultimate frisbee. I love to travel and I try to move around as much as possible. I am usually reading a good mix of science fiction, fantasy, business, historical fiction, and general history.

I have been coding for 5+ years and got my start on Programmable Logic Controller in C++. I moved into the web development field and I’ve steadily broadened my skill set. The years I spent developing programs to efficiently run large machine processing have really helped me to better understand complex object oriented web applications. Since joining the WebPub Team I have worked primarily on the administration sections of the website
