Introduction	I was born in Washington state and raised in Nebraska -- we moved there when I left elementary school. I enlisted in the Air Force in the early 80's as they offered me a free ticket OUT of Nebraska. "Free" in this case being a relative term... I've been stationed in Mississippi, Texas, the United Kingdom, Colorado, and Washington DC. I retired from Active Duty in 2008 and started working as a contractor in Northern Virginia. I'm happily married with a wonderful wife, three great kids, and a 2004 BMW Rll50RT motorcycle that I call "Pearl". I enjoy a homebrewed beer, craft beer, and the occasional cocktail. I like cooking and creating in the kitchen. I'm an advocate for Free/Open Source Software, believe that Linux can run anywhere, and that the GPL is a Great Idea. I have been working at one thing or another in IT for almost my entire adult life. At least, when I'm not sleeping.

Favorite Movies	Star Wars (the original theatrical edition), Dark Star, Night of the Living Dead (b/w), Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and lots more.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

Given my predilection for liver abuse, it would probably be made out of bourbon or beer bottles, and probably erected in Milwaulkee.
