Profile: Lance J. Pierce

Your personal background.
I'm Lance and I'm 38. I live in Ely Nevada but I'm originally from Sacramento CA. Ely is a nice small town, where most everyone knows everyone else. Been here going on 8 years (as of June of '04). I am employed as a Senior Correctonal Officer at the Ely Maximum Security Prison. I am also a Volunteer Firefighter. I don't know much about computers except the basics. I can build one from parts and probably get it to work too. But that's about it. Hobbies include 4-wheeling, shooting, camping, and exploring ghost towns. Real ghost towns and ruins, not any of that Hollywood type of ghost town. Not being married makes it easier to go out and have a beer and play some pool if I want to. Not that I do that too often though. I'm not into boozin' it to excess. Other than that, I'm just your normal kind of guy.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I originally came across SETI@home because of an article in a newspaper. Once running Seti@home, I found that this project was being started. So, now my computer runs both. I've been interested in space since I was a little kid and this is the only choice I have to do what I can to assist in the exploration of space and the expansion of our knowledge of it.
