Born in Derbyshire UK in 1959 and moved to Australia 7 years later. Moved to home in Eastern Oregon in March of 1999, and to Salem OR in October of 2006.
I work as a Computer Support Representative for a State Government based project and will be starting a Degree in IT within the next couple of months.
My hobbies include computers (obviously); amateur (ham) radio, photography and motor racing (competing). I plan to try to build a radio telescope using an old Satellite TV dish and maybe even the receiver - if I can work out how.
