I'm 38, have been married for 16 years, have four children (6 yr boy, 10 yr boy, 12 yr girl, 14 yr boy) and an American middle class lifestyle, complete with SUV. I'm a professional software engineer of 18 years, currently employed by IBM. My specialties are cryptology, security, networking, embedded systems and OO. I used to be a cop in the USAF Reserves, spent two years living in southern Mexico as a Mormon missionary and have traveled extensively (excessively?) inside and outside the country, to nearly every region of the world. For fun I write software, read and write fiction, camp, hike, water-ski, fish, hunt, shoot, SCUBA dive and snowboard. I use Debian Linux almost exclusively, booting Windows in VMWare when absolutely necessary. Politically, I'm mostly Libertarian. I'm a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and carry a firearm most of the time.
