Profile: Jassen L. Bowman

Personal background
Hello world, my name is Jassen Bowman, and I am 30 years old. I'm a resident of Fort Collins, Colorado. I have a myriad of interests, including space commercialization, nuclear power, geocaching, competitive shooting, aviation, figure skating, bouldering, politics, and activism.

I am gravely concerned with the purity of our planet's air and water resources, and I am the director of Air, Water, Wildlife, an organization dedicated to the preservation of these resources for future generations to enjoy.

For my day job, I assist taxpayers in obtaining tax relief from the IRS and state taxing authorities as a consultant with Phoenix Financial Group.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that it would be very arrogant of us as a species to think that other intelligent life does not exist elsewhere in the universe. God created numerous other worlds, and I am certain that he has other societies that formed on them.

Some of the benefits of being able to contact and communicate with other life include an expanding of our own understanding of the universe and our place in it. Also, of course, would be the possible benefits of technology transfer.

We already broadcast our presence across space with our mass communication media. But, I do believe that it would benefit us to have a beacon being transmitted that is similar in message to the broadcast sent from the Arecibo dish back in the 1970s.

I run SETI@home because it is a small thing that I can do, just perhaps, to make the world a better place through eventual alien contact. Also, the really pretty colors look cool. :)
