About me: I'm passionate about Linux systems use and development since the early days of the OS. I enjoy empowering others through knowledge of these systems as tools and a stable foundation in which to learn upon. Now at age 50, I spend time with my eight year old Son building RC trucks, Austin, TX mountain biking and teaching him to think outside of the box.

My Career Goal: To utilize my twenty eight year history of systems and network engineering.
