Born and raised in the deserts of the Great American Southwest, I now call Knoxville, Tennessee home. I love to do most anything that takes me outdoors (as long as it isn't work) and can be found with my trusty digital camera close at hand.

I also love web design and other aspects of computer work. I am also a proponent of Free Open Source Software (FOSS).

In addition to photography and computers, my hobbies include hiking, fishing, amateur radio (call sign KØBO), genealogy and painting.

I am a frequent contributor to www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=47041512
