<p>I am currently an architect in the Open System Services development
group
within the NonStop Enterprise Division of HP.<br>
</p>
<p>I became interested in Internet Security when I established a home
office
in 1999 and had DSL service installed in our home. I investigated
ipchains
and developed the scripts which are now collectively known as <a
href="http://seawall.sourceforge.net">Seattle Firewall</a>. Expanding
on what
I learned from Seattle Firewall, I then designed and wrote Shorewall.</p>
<p>I telework from our <a
href="http://lists.shorewall.net/SeattleInTheSpring.html">home</a>
in&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cityofshoreline.com" target="_top">Shoreline,
Washington</a>
where I live with my wife Tarry.&nbsp;</p>
