Personal background
From Birmingham, Alabama born February 1972. Graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, however I've never worked as an Industrial Designer. While in college I started work at an ISP in Columbus, Georgia in 1996 working as Webmaster and part-time technician then moved on to become a travelling computer consultant for local area banks in Auburn, AL. Once I graduated from college, I got a job working for General Electric as an IT field engineer and contracted for several large companies such as Alabama Power, AmSouth Bank and Synovus Bank. Currently I hold the position of IT Director for a local commercial real estate firm.

As for hobbies, I play the Saxophone and enjoy anything electronic (Its pretty safe to assume I'm into computers;-). I also like to dabble in astrophotography when I have time to drive to darker areas.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I sincerely believe it to be arrogant of humans to think we're the only life in existance ANYWHERE. What will society do if NASA sends probes to Europa and in its deep warm seas we find alien life within our own solar system ?

As for what future communication with other lifeforms holds, I think it a 50/50 gamble, especially since good and evil seem like universal constants. The message we ought to be sending into space is a message that shows how hopeful and at the same time how destructive humans can be. Any creature intelligent enough to reach our immature planet will hopefully help us rather than destroy us all for some of the atrocities committed by mankind.
