I am born and raised in Vulcan county and attended school in both Vulcan and Champion. My interest in computers started in 1984 at the age of 8 when my parents bought a Tandy computer from Radioshack. I was self-taught basic programming and created a user interface that predated Windows by many years. My passion for technology is currently mixed with my love for agriculture and I manage a grain farm locally. I also own and operate a daily tech news website from my farm and have over 4 Million hits a month at BCCHardware.com. We currently serve over 180,000 unique visitors a month. People come to BCCHardware to find out about the latest technology, in-depth product reviews and gaming news. We have a community forum of over 650 members and are growing.

BCCHardware focuses on technology and provides accurate, unbiased reviews of products to consumers so that they can make better informed decisions.

If you need any more information, please drop me a line.

Kind Regards,

Benjamin "Zeus" Heide
