In case anyone is interested in my fabulous life as an IT geek, here is a little about me.

Grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and graduated from SouthWest High. Went straight into the Army and spent 13 years there. Desert Storm took care of my retiring from the military. I was wounded and received a medical discharge. The good thing about that was I started working on computers my last year in the military and it helped start me on my way.

I've tried a lot of hobbies and so far, model trains, photography and Tae Kwon Do help keep me sane.

I started out with a 35mm Chinon SLR film camera. That will help date me :-) Used one of the first Nikon Mavica floppy disk cameras. Next bought a Fuji Finepix S5000 and then on to my current weapon, a Canon XTi. Wow, do I love that camera.

I'm having fun with photography and the programs used to tweak the pics. I consider myself an amateur at this and gladly take all critiques without backlash.

Thanks to my wife Lynn for putting up with all my hobby tryouts.

I'm also a big fan of CoolIRIS.
