I've been using Linux since I left school and never looked back. I run a mixture of servers and desktops running a variety of distributions. I like my fingers in all of the open source pies. I like to keep up with the latest technologies across all Linux distributions, some would say I like to have my fingers in all the Open Source pies.

Outside of Ubuntu, I'm an avid music fan, scuba diver and play both the Guitar and Ukulele.
