Me in a tux? You've got to be kidding!

Home Life
Apparently, my entire "Home Life" section was erased at some point. I am working on a divorce (the paperwork should finalize before too long). I have five (5) cats and two (2) dogs. Yes, I have a bit of mild insanity when it comes to pet ownership. If that were all there was too it, we would be fine, but I also have a housemate, and she has a cat (total of six (6) felines in the house). We do alright, even given all of that, though every once in a while I do need to get away from the near-constant attention of the animals.
A job? What's that??
My current title is Manager, Technology Services, and I am employed by Xerox Global Services, a division of Xerox Corporation.I have a variety of responsibilities, ranging from server administration, to management of the technology surrounding our Xerox Office Services (XOS) offering, also known as Managed Print Solution (MPS). I am a jack of all trades, master of several, and I like the breadth of experience I bring to the table.
Interests
I enjoy computers both as a career and as a hobby. Due to time constraints, I rarely get to experience what the rest of the world calls "free time", but when I do, I try to make it quality enjoyment time. I am trying to find new hobbies and activities as my former hobbies have largely fallen by the wayside. I do enjoy working on the house from time to time though, and stores like Lowe's and Home Depot are definitely my bane.

I have enjoyed reading since a young child (around age 4 I think), and my favorites are sci-fi and fantasy. My favorite authors include Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony, J.K. Rowling, Tom Clancy, Orson Scott Card, and Arthur C. Clarke.

I love music, especially hard rock, heavy metal, techno, and 80's pop rock.

I have enjoyed participating in the Boy Scouts, as a child, and later as an adult leader. Of course, being a Boy Scout/Assistant Scoutmaster, I get a kick out of outdoorsy things. My favorite outdoors experiences include canoeing down the Tar River in Greenville, NC in pouring rain with my friend and his family, and the campout where we jumped off a cliff and got lost in the woods (we went rapelling and orienteering).
Internet Stuff
I love to hang out on talkers. I used to spend a lot of time in the mud world, and am still pretty good with LPC (Amylaar and CDLIB specific really). I have met a lot of acquiantances, but unfortunately, only a few real friends that I can still find. A lot of my friends live outside of the Cincinnati area, and so I do not get to see them often. Some friends links include:

Well, that's me in a nutshell, hope you enjoyed perusing.
