I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. I am married to my wonderful wife Angela, and we live near Cincinnati, Ohio with an adorable cat named Skittle. I have been using and promoting Linux and open source software since late 2003, and I have become a firm believer in the merits of free software. I contribute to various open source software projects, such as the Mantis Bug Tracker, and spread knowledge and information about free software whenever I get the chance.
