I am a Army Reserve Soldier, and a full-time computer geek. I have worked at The University of Texas at San Antonio in the IT Department ever since leaving the active duty Army. I work in Enterprise Services, managing the Unix servers.

Please check out my resume.

Go here for my weblog, including my journal from Iraq.

I was deployed to Iraq from March 2004 to March 2005 with Charlie Company 2/7 Cav (1^st Cavalry Division). I tried to keep a running journal of what I was up to so that my family and friends could stay aware of what was going on with me. Since I have been back, I have been going back and adding in entries to fill out the rest of the journal.

This section is nowhere near finished. If you are interested in my experiences in Iraq, please check this area from time to time. I will be updating it as often as I can.

I am a very big SciFi/Fantasy fan, and I also really enjoy Stephen King and Tom Clancy as well.

My favorite authors include:

• Anne McCaffrey - who can't love Pern and the DragonRiders?
• Robert Jordan - used to like him, until I realized that he was going to keep writing the same Wheel of Time novel over and over again until he died, which he did.
• Isaac Asimov - 'nuff said
• Stephen King - aka the Mad Genius. Roland and his ka-tet have consumed many hours of my time, may it do ya fine.
• Glen Cook - best fantasy military writer ever. The Black Company rules!
• etc, etc, etc….
