Okay, so you want to know at least something about the author of these pages. For Vorlon-style convenience, I'll give you the information as the form of answers to Galen's questions.

Jeffrey Crouch, roleplayer, computer geek, Star Trek fan now diminished, and writer/artist of varying quality. I serve as Chief of Operations (read: Secretary) of the USS Pioneer, a local chapter of UFPI. I also build models, continue the excessive customization of my Macintosh Performa 6116CD, run a roleplaying game using the Champions system, and otherwise do various things that most people either can't understand, or refuse to understand for various unknown reasons.

To become a full-time, well paid Graphic Designer at a company of any size, while continuing to devote my life outside of work to my various hobbies.

I am hoping to be able to stay in Colorado, where the scenery is beautiful and most of my friends in the known universe currently reside. If I can't, then someplace that stays comfortably warm or at least doesn't freeze over completely in the winter.

I don't serve anyone right now, mainly because of the fact that I lost my job at IKON recently. Probably a good thing, because it felt like I was living in a Dilbert strip for most of my time there.

I am scheduled to get married at the beginning of August to Laura Evans, who I met through the USS Pioneer a few years ago. She's working on becoming a park ranger as her second career. Her first career was microbiology.

Most of the people on the Pioneer, including some who are no longer a part of the ship but still hang out with us.

The roleplaying group I hang with on most weekends, a good bunch of guys that sometimes lament their lack of social lives outside their hobby.

Also, my parents and future parents-in-laws, all of whom accept me for who I am, even if I do act a little addled from time to time.
