Introduction/Background

I'm currently an Active Duty soldier in the United States Army, deployed to Baghdad, Iraq. My "job" in the Army is as an Information Systems Operator/Analyst, which basically translates to "a geek in the Army."

Career-wise I've always been passionate about and interested in technology in its myriad forms, from computers to Sci-Fi, since around age 12 (the "Age of Reason" as it were).

If you're so inclined, you can read my résumé on http://nixwizard.net and see pictures of my life in Tucson (and Baghdad unfortunately) at http://nixwizard.net/pics/main.php

On the Citizendium, I plan on working within my scope of knowledge. Therefore I will probably be making edits in the CZ Computers Workgroup and the Military Workgroup.
