Employee Information

I work as a UNIX System Administrator at the American headquarters of ACNielsen, a VNU Company. I am a member of the group supporting ACNielsen's network of Sun workstations and servers, running Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 operating environments. Here's a recent picture of me in my typical environment, surrounded by lots of books, papers, and soda, and using my preferred computing environment - Sun Open Windows!
