About Me

I am a system administrator who resides in the beautiful Charleston, South Carolina area. I have lived and breathed computers my whole life. My dad is a computer hobbyist so I always had some type of computer to play with. I've spent countless amounts of time experimenting and ultimately breaking my systems. However I have learned a great deal about computers along the way. I have no formal training on computers save a few certs that I have picked up along the way. I do plan on getting a Bachelors degree somewhere along the way but I'm not sure how long I will take to get it.

I first used Ubuntu back in 2007 (Gutsy Gibbon 7.10). I had no intentions of liking it or using it full time. I primarily wanted to see what my friend who talked about Linux incessantly liked so much about it. I didn't care for it initially. I didn't see the immediate benefits (like most people) but the more I played with it the more I fell in love with it. I couldn't see how I had gone that long without using Linux before.

Finally in 2012 I made the permanent switch to Linux. No more Microsoft on any of my computers. I was finally all open source software.

Ubuntu Contributions

You can find me sitting on Ubuntu Forums and in the forums IRC channel. I have spearheaded up the revival of the Unanswered Posts Team. I believe it is crucial that every posts on the forums gets an answer. Many of the posts that fall through the cracks are easy and many of the users are also first timers. If we want our user base to keep growing we have to answer everyone's questions in order for them to properly enjoy the Ubuntu experience.

Future Goals

My top priority on Ubuntu is make everyone's user experience better. Whether that is software support or offering advice on how to beat the next level on a video game. Everyone is there for the same common reason, Ubuntu. Ubuntu is more than a piece of software, it is a way of life.

Interests & Hobbies

I love fixing computers whether its for a friend or for a job. I help out as often as I can. I also have taken up to fixing cars. I drive a 95 VW Golf that I fix everything on when parts go out. I have big plans for the car but I have yet to carry them out.
