About me

I'm a 39 year old System Administrator from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana Indiana]. I currently live in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_lake_city Salt Lake City, UT] with my wife and son.

I'm head the head of Staff Technologies at the [http://www.lib.utah.edu Marriott Library] at the [http://www.utah.edu University of Utah].

Linux & Open Source

I started using Linux in 1997. I needed to replace a aging Sun server running a web server. Having a limited budget, I install RedHat 5.2 on a i386 computer I built from extra parts I had. It was perfect solution. I continue to find new uses for Linux in my job.

In 1999, I took and passed the [https://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/courses/ RedHat Certified Engineer] exam.

Ubuntu

I started using Ubuntu in 2004, when I could not get a new sound card and ethernet card to work under Fedora Core. I heard about Ubuntu listening to the [http://www.lugradio.org/ LUGRadio] podcast. I decided to try it, and sure enough everything just worked.

After that I learned more about the Ubuntu community and decided it was the place for me.

Contributions to Ubuntu

Plans for Ubuntu

I would like to see more communication between the UbuntuForums and other Ubuntu Teams, especially the Launchpad team and Ubuntu software development teams.
