About Me

I'm a 30 year old father of three living in the United States, in the Great State of Ohio. I am not in a technical field in my profession, but using computers has become a hobby of mine. I build and repair computers for friends and associates. I have been using Ubuntu since Hoary (may 2005), and never looked back. Ubuntu was my first experience with Linux, and I am thankful it was shown to me. Helping fix Bug #1 has been a priority of mine since my first install.

In November 2006, I founded the OhioTeam LoCo team. The team has grown quickly and now has over 50 members! As a team we have some BIG plans to spread Ubuntu across the Great State of Ohio
