I am the guy who will do his level best to keep this forum running fast and smooth from a technical standpoint. In the grand scheme of things, I am probably the oddball in this community, since I am neither an artist nor a writer.
I am a computer scientist (at least that is what my degree indicates). I've been employed as a professional UNIX system, network, and software engineer within the finance industry for the past 13 years. I program in 9 or 10 different languages, and I like solving problems - when I have time, of course.
In addition to my technical background, I am married and have two children (3, if you count Rob). I served a little more than 11 years in the U.S. Air Force and earned the rank of Technical Sergeant (E-6). I did not fly for the service - I was an electronic technician. I am, however, a rated pilot and enjoy flying whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Enjoy the forum, and thank you all for letting me tag along!
