About

I enjoy playing and coaching basketball, playing with and teaching my kids, weightlifting, and hiking, backpacking and camping. I also like to read: we have a couple thousand books around here.

My official education is in physical education and journalism (with studies in computer science too). A few of my experiences have included: managing and publishing monthly (print) newsletters and annual magazine; coaching youth, select, and junior college basketball; building and maintaining various websites (including a few that cost from $75,000 to $5 million); writing sports, and Unix- and open source-related articles; teaching BSD, HTML, Apache, BIND, mail (Exim), and various other workshops; writing and documenting software and maintaining open source projects; and a lot more.

My wife and I run a book publishing company.

I have used a variety of different bios for past classes, lectures, and writing. So I started collecting here.
