About the Author

Stephen Olejniczak is the Director of Operations for ATI, and has over 14 years of experience in telecommunications. His experience is focused on installation, service, and support of voice service with a growing responsibility for delivering VoIP. He's the author of Telecom For Dummies and a snappy dresser. Stephen didn't start out in life as a techie, only falling prey to the glamour and easy money after failing to find a career enabling him to use his Bachelors degree in Cultural Anthropology. He currently lives in the quaint hamlet of Laguna Beach, California with his beautiful wife Kayley and a collection of fountain pens. Brady Kirby is the owner of Atlas VoIP and has been programming since he was 13 years old. The initial challenge of writing small screen savers in qbasic wasn't enough for him and by the 10th grade he worked his way up to the strong stuff - game programming. It was at this tender age that Brady accepted his calling. He realized it was his lot in life to make the world a better place, solving people's problems, by evolving inventive software. Brady spends his free time with his son, Brady Kirby III, in the crucible of technology and engineering, Huntsville, Alabama. Surrounded by many tech companies, and that space program we have (we think it's called NASA), they enjoy the good life with large helpings of lasagna and good Mexican food. It's in this environment that Brady III is mentored in all aspects of programming by his father. Maybe to write his own For Dummies book someday.
