Don't let the home address fool you - Joe Breunig is a true maineiac (living in exile in Connecticut).
He was born on June 26, 1958 at the Dow Air Force Base Hospital in Bangor, Maine. Eventually he and his family moved to Portland after the birth of
3 additional brothers. In 1976, he graduated from Deering High School in the top 10% of his class (while participating in the College
Curriculum Program). That ensuing summer, he had his first job at the Westbrook Forestry Department, primarily removing tree trunks. After surviving the summer of manual labor, he
enrolled at USM (or Pogo U. until the name change during 1978) as a math major. For a couple of years, Joe tutored students in mathematics and introductory Computer Science classes
(during Bruce Andrews' stint at the college).
During the summer of 1981, Joe landed an entry-level programming job with Keane (a software consulting company). For the next ten years, he developed software at the New
England businesses of Unum, Bath Iron Works, Liberty Mutual, Chubb, AIG and GTE Slyvania. After a brief employment period with BIW, Joe became an independent computer consultant.
His travels took him to Coca-Cola, M&M/Mars and Caldor. Upon the closure of Caldor, Joe joined Nine West as an employee of their MIS department. After four years, the department
was outsourced into the joint-venture of HCL Jones Techologies.
In September of 1986, Joe married his wife Joyce. She also is a Maine native, having attended schools in Biddeford.
In mid-summer of 1999, Joe and (sister-in-law) Audrey purchased the old Harvey cottage at 25 Whitehouse Cove Road. Having both family and friends at the western end of the
lake, the acquision of the property was an ideal situation. Combining his love of the lake with a knack for technology, this website was established for the community's enjoyment
and benefit.
Listed below are some of the webmaster's favorite sites; yes, he does have the "geek gene" and he's stopping apologizing for it (long ago).
