I am a Reuse Program Coordinator for Laptops and Desktops, a Technocrat, and a Half ASS.  Before being hired on at Free Geek, I was a volunteer Desktop & Server Build Instructor and Advanced Tester.
+
I volunteer in Hardware Grants, Technocrats, Server Build, and occasionally Desktop Build.  Before that I used to work here.  Before ''that'' I used to volunteer as an instructor in Desktop and Server Build, Advanced Testing (now Hardware Testing), Tabling, and Technocrats.  ''Before that'' I goofed off on the Recycling Bench.
  
I am also a volunteer Junior System Administrator for the Computer Action Team at Portland State University's Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science.  If you're a PSU student and have the slightest interest in systems or network administration, IT, CS, or IRC, you should look into the [http://cat.pdx.edu/bd.html Braindump].
