I've been at Stanford since 1986, and have been in the Med School since 1987. I am currently responsible for our Help Desk, Desktop Support, and Network Operations areas.
I work for IRT, the information technologies group for the Stanford University School of Medicine.
To briefly summarize my personal info, I'm gay and have been with my
significant other for over 22 years, we have a son (Raphael) who is now 12
years old (!), I was a volunteer at ARIS (a group which provided support services for People with AIDS) from 1986-2003 (sadly, ARIS is no more, though the needs still exist), I'm a not-very-active
member of the Libertarian Party, and I'm the
former Treasurer (1994-2004) of the neighborhood association in Palomar Park.
I went to college at Simon's Rock (a
unique and wonderful place), and at UC Santa
Cruz. My latest thing is that I started biking to work in 5/2004 (and on the
weekends). Since 9/2004, I've been biking to work everyday, unless I need to
drive. [latest biking update 2/2006: I've now been on many
rides of 50 miles or more, and typically do a multi-hour ride each weekend]
Needless to say, I'm getting in better shape, and it's a Good Thing!
Anyway, I suppose that I'll put more stuff up here if I can ever figure out what SHOULD be here...
