I'm a networking and security specialist that focuses on Cisco products. Through this role I attempt to evangelize for Linux and the FOSS movement. I take pride that I run NO PIRATED SOFTWARE and that Mr. Gates does not receive a cent of tax from me.

I am currently one of the directors of the North Central Ohio Linux User Group based in Mansfield, Oh.

I cut my teeth on Debian around 2001 and found Ubuntu soon after release. I love the project, and what it has done with the Debain platform. I'm excited to see where this project goes, and look forward to being a part of helping it grow.

I am married and a father of one beautiful daughter.
