About Myself
I'm a geek who constantly plays with computers, especially network security.  I love security because it is a constantly changing environment, your job is to do battle with the bad guys.  However,  I haven't always been a geek.

At college, I thought about majoring in Veterinary medicine.  I love cats and wanted to study feline medicine.   However,  I changed my mind and decided to join Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps).  I always loved the toys and thought this would be a great opportunity to play with them.  So, I enrolled in the ROTC program and changed my degree to military history.  Since I knew I was going to have a job when I graduated, I  focused on the finer things in life, like having fun.   Following graduation in 1992,  I served for four years as an officer in the Army's Rapid Deployment Force.  However, after years of training in deserts, eating cold MREs, and sleeping in the rain, I needed a break.  I left the Army after making Captain and spent 5 months exploring the remote islands of Indonesia.   What an adventure that was!  After that,  I went to graduate school for my MBA.  While studying for my degree, I realized that I enjoyed working with computers more then marketing or accounting.  I finished my MBA, but have decided network secuity is the career for me.  While at graduate school, I also got the bonus of meeting my wife, Ania.  We were married in Warsaw, Poland in 1998.

When I'm not being a geek, my favorite things to do are scuba diving and roller-bladeing.  Fortunately, Ania is also outgoing and became Open Water certified in 1999.  We have been together on several great diving trips since then.  We both love doing anything outdoors and try to go roller-bladeing or traveling whenever we can.  I also love military history, especially the tools and tactics of medieval warfare.   Maybe this is where I get my interest for network security, as there are allot of similarities between securing a network and securing a castle. I currently work for Sun Microsystems's Global Enterprise Security Services (GESS) team. This is a small team of security consultants that do enterprise level security consulting. It is a great team of professionals to work with and learn from.
