innovative family website provider, today announced that Darin Brannan

founding partners of Verio, Inc. and the founder and Sr. VP of

exciting time to be joining The Family Post," said Mr. Brannan. "When
I was introduced to The Family Post I saw it as a solution to a
problem that many families face. There is definitely a growing need
for a destination where families can safely store their digital media

site," continued Mr. Brannan. "The Family Post provides an extremely
compelling solution, and as a new father, I am very excited about this
product."
