About Me
Azteech (Steve Peterson) spent 22 1/2 years in the U.S. Army and retired in 1997. I am 51, a divorced father of two, and grandfather to five grand-children.BR Through out my time in the military, I gained an invaluable and extensive background in installing, testing/troubleshooting, and inspecting Military and Government communications systems and facilities. Since retiring I have worked as a Network Operations Center Manager for a major Internet backbone provider in Maryland, an installation/troubleshooting/support supervisor for a commercial communications design and installation firm in Virginia, a Telecommunications Center Manager for a major Military Communications Contractor in Sunnyvale, CA, and dabbled in other miscellaneous endeavors, including some independent web designing.BRBR I am a native of Tucson, and returned here in 1999. I currently work for a local distribution company. In my spare time I enjoy various activities including, but not limited to camping, hiking, bowling, tinkering with computers (troubleshooting/upgrading), a little computer gaming, listening to music, and watching the History channel. I am an avid outdoor sportsman, both fishing and hunting.BRBR
I am an active member of the Ubuntu-Arizona LOCO team, and the Ubuntu-Arizona Convert to Ubuntu (Membership) sub-team. Using computers has become a 20+ years hobby of mine. Over the years I have built and repaired computers for friends and associates, as well as myself. I have been an on again/off again *nix user for over 20 years (mostly Unix during my military days). I have been learning and using Ubuntu Linux since Hoary (May 2005), and never looked back. Ubuntu Linux has been the most stable, and usable desktop operating system I have found to date.BRBR

Advocacy
As a team member of the Arizona membership sub-team, I am working toward developing community awareness of Ubuntu Linux, how ever and when ever the opportunity lends itself. I have also given my information as a contact for questions and/or face to face support to anyone I have given a copy of the Ubuntu Linux CD's.
I always carry a few Ubuntu Linux CD's around with me to convert the willing and curious. I have given out several Ubuntu Linux CD's to friends and associates.
My Future with Ubuntu
Work with the Ubuntu project to increase LoCo teams awareness and membership. Hopefully every state will have a LoCo team by 2008.
Work with the Ubuntu-Arizona LoCo community to continue to improve the project.
Assist in developing a working face to face support network within the Arizona Loco Team.
Provide support and help to others on Ubuntu Forums as much as possible.
I will continue to volunteer for jobs or assignments as needed.
