Francis Sullivan is a computer specialist with an engineering degree in computer science from Portland State University. He has worked primarily as a network administrator, although he did a fair bit of programming early in his career. He currently works as a contractor at Ft. Lee, a military base outside of Richmond, Virginia where he lives with his wife Katie and daughter Imogen. Francis was born in Munich, Germany – his father was in the military stationed in Germany and his mother was a Czech refugee whose family was killed in WWII. He was an army brat for most of his childhood. He and his wife have been married for 16 years, but have been together for 25. He wonders how it is possible he has gotten this old!
