Biography

Headshot of UlmerI was born on 14 February 1973 in Orlando, FL. I lived in unincorporated Orange County between Plymouth and Sorrento, fairly close to Apopka (”The Big Potato[e]“). I moved for the first time in my life in August of 1991, when I came to Gainesville to attend UF. I still enjoy living and working in Gainesville, though I’ve relocated six times since I’ve been here — college town.

On 27 April 2002 I married Dana Leigh Morris. As a tribute of my love, I discarded enough obsolete computer equipment to make space for her to move into our house. Some of you don’t recognize the level of sacrifice that entailed. Others will understand it when I say that I discarded a perfetly working AMD 386-40 motherboard with a Weiteck math co-processor, though that didn’t bother me as much as the Wise 52 terminal. I guess we all have to make our choices, and so far I’m pretty happy with that one. ;)

Caricature of UlmerHere is a caricature of me drawn by a random artist in the Plaza of the Americas on the UF campus. There is a raging debate among my friends as to whether this even resembles me. I’m not really sure I care, but if you have an opinion you can mail me.
