Professional Bio
I'm a Unix System Administrator, which basically means I herd computers. Its not as hard as herding cats and you don't get as much fur everywhere. Usually. My specialties are in Internet Applications (web, email, dns), Linux, Solaris, perl, MySQL, and most recently VoIP.
I host The Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts
(ALE) Website and mailing list.
I was one of the founders of the
Atlanta Linux Showcase
I'm available for security related consulting, firewall design and installation, penetration testing, network security assessment, and other services. Contact me via phone or email (email preferred) for more information.
Politics
Politically I'm best described as either conservative-libertarian or "enterpriser". I'm socially moderate but a strong fiscal conservative. I got started in politics as a member of the Libertarian Party. I quite rapidly worked my way up to service on the Libertarian National Committee in 2004-2005. I left the LP in disgust over the quality of candidates they ran for office and the general extremist attitude of the party membership.
In May of 2005 I joined the Republican Party of Gwinnett County, and started the Republican Liberty
Caucus of Gwinnett County. In the 2006 primaries I supported Casey Cagle for Lt. Governor,
Karen Handel for Secretary of State and Brent Brown for
Labor Commissioner. In June of 2006, I was asked to be interim chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia.
In April I started the Georgia Draft Fred Thompson movement when I created Georgians for Fred Thompson
