Welcome to SecurityGeek.Net. This web site used to be chopped full of Information Security related material, but after many site rebuilds and the web site being offline for a pretty long time I just decided to turn the SecurityGeek.Net into my personal web site. In the future this web site may have some of my previous works and future works on it, but at this point in time I'm not going to spend too much time digging up things to post on the web site. Information will be posted time to time depending on time and the mood I'm in. The main purpose of the web site though is to attract people with similar interests and backgrounds and to share information.

I've owned SecurityGeek.Net since November of 2000. In Internet time that's quiet a while. That's half of Yahoo! and Amazon's life as companies. The domain's current catch line is "Putting the EEK in Geek since 2000". SecurityGeek.Net for a very long time was a Information Security related web site. The people who helped run the site, at the time, were enthusiasts like myself and were eager to learn anything and everything about Linux/BSD system administration and how to secure Linux/BSD based systems. The perfect way for us to learn at that time was to maintain our own server and host content for the world to view.

Nowadays' I have worked full time in the information security/technology field for going on 7 years and I don't consider myself the enthusiast that I once was, though I still am a enthusiast. I have not talked to many of the people who helped me maintain the site in many years. All of the people were friend's that I had met on the Internet. I'm sure they have all gone on to bigger and better thing's by now.

These day's my primary hobby is scuba diving. I will go diving in colder waters, turbid waters, warm waters, and clear waters. I do not care, as long as I get to blow bubbles. I earned my open water certification in May 2004 and have logged 221 open water dives to date (May 2007). I just recently earned my GUE Fundamentals rating. I've earned many certifications within the scuba diving industry (two of them are professional rated certifications), but my GUE certification is the one that I'm most proud of because of the dedication and hours of time that went into perfecting the skills needed to pass the class. Now on to GUE Cave 1! .. Hopefully soon.

Anyway's, that's me and this is my site. If you want to know more you can contact me via the contact form.
