About me
I'm a 40 year old System Administrator from Indiana. I currently live in Salt Lake City, UT (UTC -7) with my wife and son.
I am the head of Staff Technologies at the Marriott Library at the University of Utah.
Linux & Open Source
I started using Linux in 1998. I needed to replace a aging Sun server running a web server. Having a limited budget, I installed RedHat 5.1 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 2001, I took and passed the 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 3. I heard about Ubuntu listening to the 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.

Plans for Ubuntu
- Want to start a tech roundtable podcast that cover Linux, Windows, and OSX.
- I would like to see more communication between the Ubuntu Forums and other Ubuntu Teams, especially the Launchpad team and Ubuntu software development teams. I also plan to help the MOTUs, maybe even joining the elite ranks.
