I was born and raised in Kokomo Indiana. Went through Ball State to get by Bs in Cs and my second lieutenant bars in the Army. Was stationed in Maryland, where I was medically retired for Crohn's. Finished my Ms in InfoSci and starting working in Wash D.C.

Met my Puerto Rican wife at a seminar for the GRE in Wash Dc. Some love story stuff, ba da bing, ba da bam. I'm a father of 3 daughters living in Gurabo, PR.

Worked until 2006, when my condition forced my full medical retirement.  FLOSS veteran on the island and elsewheres since 2003. Started SNAP Platform(OSS Java) and prPIG and did that for a few years, then I went into a little hibernation. Maria woke me up.
