I’m many things to many people: a husband, a father, a teacher, an Air Force officer, an associate vice president, an assistant professor, a pain in the ass, a recreational cowboy shooter, uncle, brother, in-law, outlaw, cigar smoker, Linux enthusiast, former WoW player, recovering Civ 3 addict, worst enemy, best friend, casual acquaintance, scotch connoisseur, fountain pen snob, and various and sundry other things. This page has some items that help define me.
My GPG key fingerprint is 6F37 EEA1 E5E8 EBF3 21F8 6265 1082 75EA 5484 2D9D You can a copy of my key from the public key server or you can click right here I have left off social media for a good year now so if you think you see anything on Twitter or Facebook from me, it’s not really me. I still have my accounts but I don’t post there anymore.
I’ve been working in the tech sector for a third of a century. I have done a lot of UNIX system and network administration, I’ve spent some time developing software in C and Perl. I spent far too much time as a software configuration manager. For the last decade I’ve been involved heavily with cybersecurity. I really enjoy the time I spend teaching for Vermont Technical College and the USAF. My whole dossier of experience is contained in my resume.
I have various hobbies: outdoors stuff like kayaking, hiking, hunting, and shooting; indoors stuff like video games, computer history, and boardgames; and a penchant for single malt scotch, good dark beer, Romeo y Juliet cigars, and fountain pens.
