Born way back in the 70's and having done tours in both the Navy and Coast Guard I've lived all over the U.S..  I have been a student/user of technology since my first computer course in 1986.  My hobbies include video games, application/web development, and Linux systems administration and networking.  Ya, I both work and play at my computers.  I have always had a love for all things outer space.  I am also a huge sci-fi fan.
