I got my first introduction to Free Software about a decade ago with FreeBSD, I tried Red Hat 9, Mandrake, Slackware and finally found my place with Ubuntu when 5.04 was released. I have completely switched since!

== Ubuntu Community ==

attachment:IconsPage/IconHandshake.png I am the founder of the UtahTeam. We are, currently, one of the few approved US based teams. We have some great members on this team and I'm proud to be a member of this group. I'm very happy to be able to contribute to the Ubuntu project as a team leader. Currently I am working with other local LUG leaders to organize the [http://www.utosc.org Utah Open Source Conference].

I am also an active Team Mentor as part of the USTeams Project, with the primary goal of establishing a community team in each US state by the end of 2007. So far the response has been amazing and I know we'll reach our goal!
