For the past 12 years I have worked in the field of Information Technology, and currently work as a systems administrator for a school district in Oregon. I am Microsoft certified (MCP, MCSA, MCTS) but *.nix is really my passion. I self-taught FreeBSD, Gentoo, Redhat, and my latest endeavor Ubuntu, but my preferred OS is FreeBSD. I have worked in a myriad of technology environments over the years and I beleive my experience is worth conveying in written form, thus the creation of this blog.

My current work environment revolves around providing support services for 1400 staff and 12,000 students. I work on a team with 12 other people and am thrilled with the commingling of knowledge. I love technology and learning different methods within systems administration and systems analysis. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge with others to help them understand the technology that surrounds us today.
