His involvement with Ubuntu started in 2006 after meeting Michael Rimbert, an Ubuntu member, who had started to lay down the foundation of what is now an official LoCo team The New Mexco Ubuntu Loco. After deciding to do everything he could to make The New Mexico loCo as successful as they could make it.

My Future with Ubuntu

2009 goals

2008 goals

This year (2008) I plan to be LPI Linux certified as well as getting a degree (well starting to get a degree) in either a computer security related field or in change management something to complement my ITIL certification. That being said I'd like to join the Ubuntu Security Team and help out in that area.

I plan to continue speaking and attending or presenting at conferences and events being an advocate for Ubuntu when ever I can.

I also plan to help move the New Mexico Ubuntu Loco to be a premier organization by helping our group continue with ambitious and succesful projects, as well as grow our membership.
