I install and maintain both unclassified and classified computers for the Department of the Navy. Astronomy has always been more of a hobby of mine, ever since I was a child. I used to sleep under the night sky during the summer months as much as possible.
Also enjoy watching, playing and coaching soccer. It's been a huge aspect of my life ever since I can remember.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've actually been running SETI off and on for the better part of a decade. This is probably the first time I've really decided to let the program run nonestop. I have plans for building a computer with the specific purpose to dedicate to SETI@home. I love this project, and the possibility that using this may one day help to find another species is very appealing.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
