Jeff Hubbs has worked professionally in IT since 1986 with the Federal

first time in 1995 and started working with it in earnest in 1998 while
working as Manager of Technical Operations and Customer Support for
Tower Group International.  While a Program Manager at NIIT USA, he
implemented Linux and Windows NT systems in support of software
development projects.  Today, he performs contract consulting and

Imaging computer system.

Linux & OpenBSD for the past year and a half.  He has been programming 
in the Atlanta area for the last 6 years.  He is a firm believer in Open 
Source and considers himself extremely lucky to finally be doing 
professionally what was once "just a fun hobby".
