About

Collier-Byrd.net is the online home of Will & Sara Collier-Byrd. We’ve put this page up to track all of our interests that we believe may be of mutual interest to our friends and family and maybe some folks we haven’t met yet.

We’ve been happily married since January 19th, 2001 and are currently living with our blue point Siamese boy, Alexy Galileo Lestat (Galileo), in Greenville, SC. Our other blue point Siamese boy, Bel Canto Vladimir Tepes (Vlad), passed away at the end of September after a protracted battle with lymphoma.

Hugh William Collier-Byrd (William Byrd) has been working as an IP Network Engineer for a telecommunications company for the last few years. He has had progressive experience working on service provider networks since 2000. At the moment his time is largely focused on studying for Cisco and Juniper Networks certifications. The majority of the webmaster and graphics work on this site and a few others is Will’s handiwork. You can see a full resume HERE if you’re interested.

Some other interests of Will’s include listening to and making music, computer gaming, creating fine arts, reading the classics and some not so classics, watching great film and plenty of pulp trash, costuming and prop reproduction among other things.

Sara Elizabeth Collier-Byrd (Sara Collier) has been working as the Hostmaster and IP Services Provisioning Technician for the same telecommunications company as Will since 2001. She is currently studying with Will for several Cisco Certifications. Prior to this she worked for a number of years at her parents’ frame shop, Collier’s Framery.

Sara was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis over the Christmas holidays of 2008. Since then she has been doing a lot of research about the disease and hopes to use this site to help collect information and raise awareness about it.

Both Sara and Will aim to collect information about South Carolina waterfalls and urban exploration on this site.

Alexy Galileo Lestat

Alexy Galileo Lestat (Galileo) is a blue point Siamese cat that likes to run (loudly) around the house and roll around on the warm concrete on our front and back patios. When he is not doing this he likes to sleep or bellow at the top of his lungs. Sometimes he likes to escape from the house in the middle of the worst thunder storm I’ve ever seen.

Bel Canto Vladimir Tepes

Bel Canto Vladimir Tepes (Vladimir) was a blue point Siamese cat. Vlad battled lymphoma and various complications from it for a year and a half before passing away September 25th 2009. Vlad was most fortunate to be helped by the wonderful folks at a Veterinary Oncologist here in Greenville, SC, Upstate Veterinary Specialists. We can’t say enough good things about their incredibly loving and professional staff.
