| Personal background |
|---|
Raised in Roswell, NM as a youth, how could I not believe in life other than on Earth? As a child I used to look up at the clear skies in Roswell and think about what was out there. In the early fifties during a Russia scare, I even stood watch at the airport with the CAP to make sure we identified all flying objects. Believe it or not, most of us young'uns were totally unaware of the "Roswell Incident" from the forties.
I started reading Science Fiction when I was about 10 years old, a habit I continue today, so I'm fully prepared for the presence of alien life when we find it.
My career has been split into three major categories, Naval Officer and Aviator, Aerospace Engineering, and now Software Systems Development.
Hobbies are computing, photography (still and moving), and golf.
My simple goal is that my life will have helped to make The Earth a better place to live. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

There is no doubt in my mind that ET life exists. It is just a matter of finding them. Given our current state of technology, I can't think of a better way than to use our electronic eyes to scour the skies and to use our distributed power to decipher the signals. What a wonderful project SETI is.
Who knows what form the ET life will take and how it will affect Earth? Certainly there is a risk of alerting an evil life form to our existence. I feel, however, it is far more likely to encounter benevolent beings. By the time subject aliens have developed space travel that would allow them to interact with us, it is my thinking that there would certainly not be a good motive to harm us poor earthlings.
Of course, if someone's "Noah's Ark" runs into us...then all bets may be off!
We should try and contact others in the Universe. I think it is a primal need to know that we are not alone.
I run SETI@home simply to be part of one of the greatest projects that man can accomplish. We can change the world if we are successful, just as earlier explorers have affected it. It is also democracy in action. For just a small investment, plain people can be part of an endeavor that could reward mankind more than any other discovery.
