I like to think that people notice me as hardworking, fair, polite, and easy-going. I certainly feel that way. I'll be the first to admit that geek runs strong in my family, and I'm not an exception. I like to tinker with gadgets and I play with networks and servers for a living. On the other hand, I don't take it to the Nth degree and live, breathe, and sleep geek. I'm a moderate, very tolerable. Science has been known to make me giddy.

Apart from the geekness, I love travel and photography (http://picasaweb.google.com/brumgard). I love the mountains, and miss them every day. I think that my next big trip is going to be to a national park, or maybe back to Europe. Wildlife photography is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable things that I do, I can't wait to get back into wide open spaces.

I'm a softy, a smile and a laugh make me melt. I love dogs, specifically the two I have now, they are my "children". I drive a fun car, and like to take it to the mountains to zoom around, it makes me feel free. I'm very open-minded and level-headed, you will rarely see me get angry, and I never hold a grudge. I enjoy life, and would love to find somebody to enjoy it with.
