This is the 10th in the series of T32 Spotlights! I'll continue to interview members when given a chance. The interviews will appear in a spotlight every now and then as long as the nominations keep coming in! For how to go about nominating a fellow folder, please go to THIS THREAD. To see the ever growing list of who has been interviewed and the expected date of the next spotlight, please go to THIS THREAD.

**EDIT** I did have something here, but it was a misprint! What a day! I usually like to write a paragraph as an intro for each person, but this time I goofed and used a copy of an old intro paragraph. Oh well. It's time to get on to the main event!

**Special Recognition, Winner of the first T32 Artwork Competition - Photoshop Category**

When did you join the Team?
08-22-04 I actually was Lurking the forums for nearly 6 months before that looking for more information on how to get my computer water-cooled more efficiently, As well as more information on cluster computing.

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
My EOC

So where do ya happen to live at?
Phoenix, Arizona. Somewhere that must be nearly 2 feet from Hell during the summer. I would rather live somewhere a lot colder.

How did you initially hear about F@H?
I had tried it years ago. Thought of the folding thing as a way to contribute to the overall research program. The idea of researching the way genetics worked to cause And/or prevent cancer was something that appealed to me.

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
I have the computers, they have a lot of extra time while waiting for my next project. However most of them are too slow for most of it so they are nearly non-existant as far as the folding is concerned.

What do you do for a living?
I am a Licensed Pharmacy Technician that works 11 hours each night putting in a 72 hour week. Every couple of weeks or so I get to have a week or so off. Great deal For me! I like being able to mess around for a couple of weeks a month.

72 hour weeks?!?!? HOW did you get time to do the photochop contest a couple months back?

What do you do for fun?
I try to find new and unusual ways to break my computers so that I can get new ones, Well not really- I enjoy Fishing, Snow Camping, and making sure my computers are working their best for my needs, which comprises the largest home video network I have heard of. I really enjoy being able to sit and watch hundreds of videos and never have to get up to change DVDs

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
About once a year I set up a little mini clean room (actually a 20 gallon fish tank) and try to work out ways to get certain rare plants I have, to clone. Actually got something once, But a lot of plants are highly resistant to being cloned from the cellular level.

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig?
Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
Just a little machine, Sempron 2800, 512MB ram, Generic 680watt PSU Copper cap water cooled, at only 2.1 GHz. And if anyone was looking, it is locked inside my desk. A frightening, upside down and backwards affair that works better than I thought it would.

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they?
My Borg-farm is also a my network, which comprises of a Compaq server with dual Pentium Pro 200MHz board 512 of ram, A 200mhz Pentium*Idunno*, a 500MHz dualie with an unmarked mobo, several 800MHz VIA mobo/CPU combos each with 256Mb of ram (lousy for folding), Main Video server is an OC’d Athlon 1800+ 512MB Of Ram, and almost 1.5 TB of storage. In total, the whole network has nearly 3TB storage available

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with
your life?
In school to get the A+ Certification, follow with a network+ cert and Security cert. With my pharmacy licenses and certifications, these computer certs will be worth A lot in the next few years.

AND I got some links for ya'll this time! Ghetto was kind enough to give some links to pics of things around is place. Enjoy!

Still working (slowly) on my big box project, and other schtuff…

Me at work: http://members.cox.net/lwcma6/myback.jpg
getting medications ready for IV administration.

I’m up on that house somewhere setting Christmas lights:http://members.cox.net/lwcma6/onhouse.jpg%20
almost 12,000 lights will be on the house and on the large tree in front, I will be adding almost 10,000 more

Main Rig: http://members.cox.net/lwcma4/ghettocomp01.jpg
Locked inside my desk.

Closet Network: http://members.cox.net/lwcma4/ghettocomp02.jpg
Nearly the whole network is located in an old abandoned Gas heater closet

His stats took a recent stumble due to the holidays, but they are heading straight back up through the roof having hit in excess of 8kppd the past 2 days. Who is this mysterious power-folder?...

OH Fraaaaannnnkkk!!!!
I don't think this pertains to me though
