Was born in Iowa and raised in Nebraska, so have a small town (10000+ pop) background. Joined the Army in 1972 as a Multi-Channel Communications Specialist and spent the next 20 years bouncing around the world. About a year after serving in Desert Shield/Storm, I retired from the Army in 1992. I moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where I currently reside. Spent a few years attempting to get a college degree in Computer Science, but the math totally discouraged me and I gave it up as a lost cause. My hobbies are reading(Science Fiction/Fantasy mostly) and computers. One of things I have done that I am most proud of was getting ShaNaNa hooked on computers(hehe) a few years back. It was ShaNaNa in turn who got me on Mirc and subsequently on 40+fun&games.
