| Personal background |
|---|
I\\'m a lowly creature of this sphere and have been here since 1960. I can remember, even as a child, looking to the stars and wondering how many others planetary creatures where looking back my way.
I have many hobbies too numerous to cover here and I am a master of none. I love all things science and the more I learn the less I know. With that said, hobbies are my source of entertainment while providing small learning experiences along the way. For me there is no better way to learn than having fun.
Occupation: By education I “was†a nurse. Currently I’m self employed and have been for the better part of 20 years. You can sum up what I do now and what I did years ago as a nurse in one word: Troubleshooter. Much of the work I do is initiated at a management level but deployed systemically. My primary focus is to identify performance gaps, analyze root causes then define solutions within the framework of human performance technology.
I vote but do not discuss politics. I’m religious but after graduating from 4 years of seminary I abandoned all formal, structured and institutional religious affiliation. Instead I embrace the belief that true religion is highly personal, dynamically fluid and impossible to structure, institutionalize or impose on another. Thus there are as many true religions as there are unique personalities in all the universes.
So who am I?
Just an ignorant creature with little to offer and much to learn.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

To believe that we are the only creatures of intelligence on this sphere is egotistical. To assume we are the only intelligent freewill creatures in an entire Universe is not only narcissistic but foolish! I find it puzzling that anyone could deny the fact of evolution while looking at the world within the snapshot of their lifetime. Conversely, to accept evolution independent of some hint to creative design appears just as limited as trying to accurately determine depth with one eye.
Perhaps my microscopic contribution of computer cycles joined with the collective participation of the seti group will demonstrate our sincerity and evolutionary growth to an on looking advanced civilization. Someday through these collective efforts and the natural course of evolution, extraterrestrials will deem us ready and capable of “revealed†planetary contact.
My participation in the project is but a drop of water. Added to all the other drops of water and we have an ocean capable of sustaining hope riding atop the currents of dynamic action ultimately leading to the reality that we are not alone in our evolutionary adventure. This is why I participate. No other reason. I have no need for recognition in terms of work unit metrics or chronological participation but only in the fact of being one drop joined with the many in realizing the vision of Seti.
Suggestions: As stated in my profile and immediately above I’m adding my drop. Knowing that faith without works is dead I place my faith in the Seti project directors who I’m sure will exercise wise judgment in the deployment of initiatives that position the project in a way to maximize available resources in pursuit of the Seti vision.
