Vital Statistics
Age: 30
Residence: St. Louis, MO in the Shaw neighborhood.

Wife: Leonie Carrillo Lloyd. Married 12/21/1999 or 7/23/2000, depending on what date you choose (it's a long story)
Hobbies: Fixing our old house, Photography, some woodworking, and an obsession with power tools. Analog stuff to offset my completely digital work.
That's me on the left, doing the hacker thing. Note the essential geek tools in use: A half full bottle of mountain new and the console to a 512 processor Origin 3800. The picture is from an install we did in July, 2001 at Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center.

Before moving to St. Louis and working at SGI, I received a degree in biochemisty from the University of Missouri. Ah, yes. Four and a half of the best years that I don't remember. After graduating, I worked for about a year and a half as a sysadmin for the SGI workstations at Mizzou. This taught me the black art of sysadmining which eventually won me a job at SGI.

While I was at Mizzou, I was very active in the Delta chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma professional chemistry fraternity, including a one year stint as Master Alchemist (president) of the chapter. While I was president I went to the 1998 Conclave (a big convention held every two years for members of Alpha Chi Sigma). It was there that I met my wife, Leonie.
