- Computer/Network Systems Engineer, B.S. in Computer Network Management with minors in both Electronic Systems and Communications Applications.
- Professional experience in military, military intelligence, physical and cyber security, and the restaurant/bar business, native English-speaker and fluent in Korean, rudimentary Spanish, Japanese, with phrases in a few other languages such as German, Russian, Mandarin Chinese.
- Hobbies include reading speculative fiction (sci-fi) and history, studying for private pilot's license, shooting, survival skills, hiking, hunting, camping, rafting, skydiving (not certified yet). Planning to get dive certified soon. I play several instruments to some level. I'm handy with tools and good at visualizing mechanical solutions. I nearly bought a boat (government buy-back of a 53' commercial fisher) last year for conversion to live-aboard, but being stuck in Iraq, I was late picking up the excellent deal I had located. Still watching for the next good deal there.
- I've been interested in Ham radio for some time, but have not delved into it yet. I am a life-long learner and pick up new interests all the time.
- My home is near the Columbia River and not too far from the Oregon/Washington Coast.
- Edited to add: I know next to nothing about boats, or the living on th ocean, I just like the intellectual challenge.
