### Long Version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I was born in Chicago in 1967, to working class parents of mixed Irish and French Canadian
|
||
|
|
heritage. My father was an electrician, my mother was a homemaker, and I was a reliably
|
||
|
|
average Chicago public school student.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a brief period of community college transience after high school, I began a ground-floor
|
||
|
|
career in tech that continues today. I have worked in an extremely wide variety of roles, from
|
||
|
|
production printer operator, to network operations, to unix systems administration, to desktop
|
||
|
|
systems support, to enterprise systems automation, to software test engineering. I have worked
|
||
|
|
in a wide variety of technical environments, from enterprise mainframes, to distributed cloud
|
||
|
|
platforms, to co-located startup systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My personal interests are classical music, Greek philosophy, computer programming, and
|
||
|
|
amateur radio. I have performed as an amateur choral tenor with civic choruses in
|
||
|
|
[Waukegan](https://www.waukeganparks.org/programs/waukegan-symphony-orchestra-concert-chorus/),
|
||
|
|
[Dartmouth](https://hop.dartmouth.edu/events/resident-ensembles/handel-society-dartmouth-college),
|
||
|
|
and [London](https://www.royalchoralsociety.co.uk/). I had a General Class FCC license for
|
||
|
|
many years (callsign [KB9ZYW](https://www.qrz.com/db/KB9ZYW)), but due to present life
|
||
|
|
circumstances I decided to let it expire. More recently, I received second prize in the
|
||
|
|
[Oxford Philosophical Society Tony Chadwick essay contest](https://www.oxfordphilsoc.org/Documents/Chadwick/2018_B.pdf).
|
||
|
|
It is published in the 2018 Annual Review. Also, after many years in and out of various university
|
||
|
|
programs, I finally received my complete education in philosophy: both a Bachelor and Masters
|
||
|
|
degree from the Birkbeck school at the University of London.
