+### Who I Am
+
+I'm a dad, who lives in Texas. You might read and see a few things around here
+that tell you a little bit about those two things.
+
+I'm a software engineer, who works for Red Hat, Inc. You very likely will see
+and read a multitude of posts about that. But before I worked at Red Hat, I
+worked at SoftLayer (I was there when we were acquired by IBM). This gave
+me the double joy of having been at two consecutive companies that were acquired
+by IBM. Before SoftLayer I worked for ONE Network Enterprises - a supply chain
+software company based out of Dallas, TX. And, before that, as a full stack
+developer for bits and pieces here and there.
+
+### What I Was Taught
+
+I'm a graduate of Houghton College ('06, BA Religion) and the University of Texas
+Dallas ('09, MS Computer Science - Intelligent Systems).
+
+### What I've Learned
+
+I'm convinced that automation is the key to a sane life in front of the computer.
+Any software that can ease my way by doing things itself is to be praised. I
+love to use it, sometimes I'll even write about it. And I'll probably try to
+get you to use it, if you come to close!
+
+I'm convinced that most people are, fundamentally, good people. Even most of
+the people who have wronged you - if you knew their whole story, you would
+probably find that their actions and words are understandable and justifiable
+to them. Remember, "No one is the villain of their own story." So, instead of
+leaping to condemn or point fingers, start from a place of empathy. You might
+find that far more doors are open to you than are closed.
