Interests: I am interested in Network Administration and System
Security. As a Hobby I have enjoyed building/configuring computers.
Installed and configured Linux on home computers and laptops. I feel great
when I am able to share my knowledge. Some outside activities that I enjoy
are hiking, traveling and nature photography.
