Your personal background.
I am an Electrical Engineer for a nearby power plant. I grew up in Utah and moved to Florida about six years ago and am loving the climate change. I am 35 and married. I am an avid gun collector (curio & relic). I have always been interested in astronomy but have never had the time to make it a hobby. For Christmas this year I received a telescope and enjoying that a lot. I have six children all together. Four from a previous marriage, one with my current and she has one from her previous marriage.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
Well, I was reading an article in a magazine about the seti@home project a while back. I decided to look it up one day and loaded it up on my computer. When it came time to choose a project, I looked down the list and did not see much that caught my eye. I did see the word Einstein and I immediately clicked on it and checked the project details. When I read about pulsars and such I was hooked. Those things are so fascinating. Anything I can do to learn about them I take full advantage of and this is a great way to do my part to further science.
