I've been crunching since 2001 when I read about United Devices/grid.org and wanted to donate computer time towards cancer research. My mom passed away due to brain cancer in 1999 and I had prostate cancer in 2012. Since then I've broadened my horizons to other projects such as World Community Grid, GPUGrid, Einstein and others. Grid.org shut down in 2007 and since then most of my donated time has been with World Community Grid.

My family and I live in Colorado where I own an IT services company.
