in northern Missouri, where he is currently engaged in building a
timber-frame house for his family. He operates a portable band-saw mill,

Unix when he realized that Unix helped start the Internet and
that it is the future of the Internet, as well. He loves LINUX as an
operating system, because "The fact that it's free doesn't hurt, but the
important thing is that I think it's the best OS out there." He is a
computer programmer, an Internet specialist. He has fantasies/dreams
about becoming a writer and a college teacher. For more of his work, see

time student at the Middle Tennessee State University and hopes
to complete a graduate degree in Computer Science before
entering a Medical Informatics Fellowship. In his dwindling
