Born in Ozark, AL, Hanan moved to Montgomery in 1994 after attending Troy State University to pursue a career in Marine Biology.  Though his plans were to become an Ichthyologist, Hanan's passion for computers took over and he transformed what was once a hobby into a career in Information Technology. Hanan worked his way up from an entry-level computer technician with an I.T. consulting company to the Chief Information Officer of the Montgomery YMCA in just a few short years. Since Productive I.T.'s inception in 2006, Hanan has worked equally hard to grow the start-up website design and marketing company into the thriving business it has become today... one that now builds more new websites in a month than it did his first year in operation. Hanan's desire to add local jobs and improve the local economy is evident in that he now employs six residents of the Montgomery, AL, area. Furthermore, Hanan has built and solely finances the www.RiverRegionOnline.com social network that provides businesses and organizations in the central part of Alabama known as the River Region a no-cost method to promote their products, services and activities to residents in the area.. 

Hanan is Chairman of the Baptist Medical Center East Advisory Board and has served on the board since 2004. His family is active in their church, Frazer United Methodist, where Hanan has served as a member of the Board of Stewards, as President of his Sunday School Class, and various other volunteer capacities.  Hanan is active in other faith-based organizations in the area including the Montgomery YMCA, FAITH Radio and the WVRV-FM Contemporary Christian Radio station.
