Currently I am employed as the Systems Administrator for the Center for Aviation and Aerospace Research (CAAR) department of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
We write and maintain specialized simulation software allowing industry partners (NASA, Boeing, FAA, CCT, Lockhead, etc) to simulate a wide variety of aircraft and weather simulations and plan for those situations accordingly.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will
humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a
discovery?
Well, not to be a rip off from the movie - but if life doesn't
exist --> It's an awfully big waste of space.
I would like to think humans will find ET through SETI - I think that would
be fitting.
It is possible that ET would be hostile towards us for a number of reasons -
but I don't think that should prevent first contact. If ET is powerful
enough to destroy us then he is powerful enough to find us so there is no harm in looking.
Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what
information should we send?
YES!! We should be sending a
signal out -- and oh, I don't know - instead of sending them some useless
hello we are the homo sapiens garbage how about something along the lines of
a PHONE NUMBER? A way to call us back? A frequency we are listening on? I
think this is the most overlooked message... Send them a way to contact
us!
Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project?
Any suggestions?
I run SETI@home to help do what I can to look - as a Computer geek
I find the project interesting for both it's distributed network solution
and its potential to find ET. AI and ET have always fascinated me, that's
why I studied computers.
