== 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 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.

 * I'm attended the Ubuntu Developers Summit - MountainView.
 * I have made packages for Ubuntu and a member of the Ubuntu Backports Team.

=== 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.
