Brian Uri! is a twenty-nine-year-old native of northern Virginia. Following graduation from T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia (1996), he spent five years at Virginia Tech where he received degrees in Computer Science and Music Theory/Composition, with a minor in Mathematics. He then prolonged his adolescence for another two years by earning a Master of Music in Music Composition at Florida State University. Brian currently works as a software engineer for FGM, Inc., in Reston, Virginia, and is engaged to the delightful Rebecca Schum.

The URI! Zone was conceived in August 1996 as the URI! Domain, and has evolved into the bloated behemoth that it is today, despite the occasional lapse in updating.
