Personal background
I am from Ohio, Born in 1961, I have a wife, "married 20 years" and a teen age daughter. I started working with computers when I was 15, long before it was cool. I have spent most of my time in consulting working on IBM's midrange computers. I started a consulting company in 1986. We now have two offices and 80 people working at the company. I work with a great team of professionals and love my work and the people. I love to solve problems and help our client grow. My only hobby is to sing in Church Choir and at weddings. Most of my time is either spent with my family or at work. I love Sci-fi and watch all the programs related to space travel. I would like to visit other planets and meet other beings.

I am part of the 3X Corporation group. That will tell you about some of the people I work with.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do believe that extraterrestrial life exists. As a Christian I don't have any reason not to believe that other life could exist. I don't see any proof from the science community that would prove otherwise.

I believe that this is a discovery that will only come with time and also with our maturity as a race. Our plant is not ready to meet extraterrestrials, when we don't have peace and understanding between ourselves. Maybe we would pull together as a species if we found other intelligent life elsewhere. Today I believe we would make many mistakes engaging other intelligent life. I however look forward to the day when we do find out that we are not the only planet with life.

I would transmit first our hopes and dreams of peace and that, we mean well. That are nature is good but that we do make mistakes, maybe some additional information. I would however make sure that we put “Approach with caution”.

I like the creative idea of using idle computer cycle to work on a project. The idea is cool and participating in something that is truly global and keeps you in touch with the progress is nice.
