About Me

I'm a software developer living in Atlanta, Georgia. I've been using Linux on and off for about 10 years. My first attempt was in college with Red Hat 4.2. Since then, I've installed and used Slackware, Gentoo, Debian, tried a couple of the BSDs (FreeBSD and OpenBSD), as well as Solaris on x86. As of recent, I've been using Ubuntu full-time since Breezy.

I started getting active in the Ubuntu community at the beginning of this year. I was officially the second person to join up with the [:GeorgiaUSTeam:Georgia US Team] and am helping it grow and working to make it an approved LoCo.

The bulk of my work has been the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. I tend to write big portions of the "In The News" and "In The Blogosphere" sections and whatever else Corey Burger and Martin Albisetti need done.

As for the future, I plan on continuing to work on the UWN and advocating the use of Ubuntu through the Georgia US Team and getting it approved. Recently, I've joined the LoCo Webhosting team and hopefully LoCos will have their hosting needs met quicker.
