A bit about me
Brian, Bruce, BriOnH: Brian is my Christian name given to me by my wonderful parents. Bruce is what some of my closest friends call me. BriOnH is the "handle" I use on the internet. Ultimatly, no matter what you call me (hey be nice! :) ), I am glad you you are here.
Thoughts from my Twitter
Like all, I am many things. Firstly I am a Catholic. Seeking Enlightenment. I am a scientist. I am an athelete. I am a musician. I am a computer programmer. But mainly, I Just am.
In fact, the moment that judgment stops through acceptance of what is, you are free of the mind.

View Places Brian Hartigan Has Lived in a larger map
I currently live in the town of Danville California USA. Growing up the son of an executive for United Airlines I moved around a lot in the US. I have lived in Denver, Reno, Illinois, and Washington. After high school I spent a couple of years in San Diego, where the bulk of my education at that time was surfing and kung-fu. After that I moved back up by my parents in Walnut Creek CA and studied Biology/Biochemistry at Holy Names University in Oakland CA. After HNU I followed in my Fathers, and Grandfathers footsteps (Both named James Hartigan [sr/jr]) and did a brief stint at United Airlines, but it's when my Father and about 9-11 others of us started Integres up by Sacramento CA that my career as a computer programmer really took off. Living in California with the spoils that go with it, and programming are, simply put, sweet. I like to travel, especially to warm, preferably tropical, places. I don't particularly like moving much anymore, but probably have some moves ahead of me.

My Family
- My paternal Grandfather, Jim Hartigan Sr. was CEO of United Airlines and taught dog fighting in WWII. He is an awesome pilot and person. My Grammie Ann Always lights up a room. She knows how to make anyone feel good and at home. My dad, Jim Hartigan Jr., also was an executive at UAL, where he after was CEO of Integres Global Logistis, where I worked for/with him from its genesis to selling. All the men and woman on the Hartigan side are very smart and very good people.

I look forward to seeing her again. My maternal Grandfather, Chris Mulvaney, was a finance officer in the Korean war and a very successful real estate agent. My mom had the hardest job of all! Raising me and my 3 sisters and managing multiple homes! I couldn't ask for a better mom.
