Personal background
I am 51 years young. Employed as a Database Administrator in a software development field, I am enjoying a second carreer after having served 20 years for the Canadian Armed Forces (Air element) as a Communication and Radar technician on aircraft. My favorite hobby was photography until I started getting interested in the night sky. I just bought my first telescope at Christmas and have been using it every chance I got since then. My dream would be to go into space but I guess that at my age, I will have to stick at looking at it through my telescope.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe life exist somewhere out there but we are a long way of discovering it. We may be looking at the wrong kind of life. To me, we have a very narrow understanding of what life is all about. The fact that stars are born and die every minutes, that the entire universe is constantly on the move, is for me evidence of a different kind of life as we know it. Why not a parallel dimension? Or maybe we are just molecules within a very much bigger universe than we think. No, I am not crazy, just very much open minded which helps me a lot in the kind of job I do.

I have been a member of SETI@home since its beginning and although I do not have the horsepower of some other members, I still managed to process 345 samples for a total of 17356 hrs of CPU time.

Keep the data coming and we will keep crunching it..
