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.
