Interests
I enjoy cycling, playing and watching music, and reading.
I have recently completed Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein, Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez and am now reading Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller.
I sometimes upload photos to picasaweb.
Career
I am the Systems Administrator for the Program in Neuroscience at Florida State University. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program including mostly Biology and Psychology faculty members, graduate students, doctoral candidates and post-docs.
I maintain the internal network for the Biomedical Research Facility which includes a majority of the Neuro faculty's labs as well as the Dean of Arts and Sciences' lab and a large Lab Animal Research facility on the first floor. I maintain services such as email, webmail, websites, ftp, dhcp, dns, backup, and large file storage for the program and building. All of my servers run some version of either FreeBSD or GNU/Linux.
I also provide desktop support for everyone in my program and building. Desktops that I maintain are a range of "beige box" PCs and Apple Macs.
I have been with Neuroscience since 2007. Before that I was with FSU's College of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Influences
I try to surround myself with folks more technically capable or educated than myself.
Some of those folks include Uriel, Anselm, Dr. Todd, guypat, and everyone who contributes to the various suckless.org projects.
