About me

Gender Male
Occupation computer security
Location clear brook, northern va, United States
Introduction i was born a navy brat and joined the navy myself in 1979. after spending 20 years as a naval cryptologist, i retired in 1999. now i am a computer security engineer for a mid-size government contractor in reston, va. i am very lucky to be married to the love of my life - cherie'( a.k.a. lolita), and we have 7 terrific kids! plus 7 terrific grandkids!

i attended garner senior high school in garner, nc (just outside raleigh) and the university of maryland (bs in 2000 and ms in 2004).

now that the kids are all grown and out of the house, i fill my time trying to keep tabs on them, which ain't always easy. they tend to be very busy and socially active. life could probably be better, but honestly, i don't know how . . . except living closer to all the kids would be nice :-)

Favorite Movies with honors, the seventh sign, contact, the natural, monty python: search for the holy grail, blazzing saddles, (and of course) office space

Favorite Books shackleton's way, les miserables, who ate my cheese

You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?

plastics are not biodegradeable, so i would convert the plant to make wooden swizzle sticks - after all, we do still need to stir our drinks!
