Course Introduction
Greetings!
My name is David Quinn Ebert, and I am a 24-year-old Certified Novell Netware (v4.11) Administrator from Greensboro, North Carolina. I am enrolled in ECPI’s Bachelor of Sciences in Network Security program, in the hopes of giving myself a more solid foundation for my future work-related endeavors. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games (I own an Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo 64, and of course a computer). I also enjoy working on my own programming projects (I am most-fluent in Visual Basic, PHP, and Python), and I quite enjoy watching movies (and TV shows) on and from NetFlix. In addition to all this, I enjoy helping folks out around me when I can, and since computers are “my thing,” I am more than happy to help out folks around here in any way I can, and hope to have the opportunity to help out at least one or two of you, my fellow classmates, with class-related items and issues as we progress through this course.
Also, please note:
I *really* prefer to be known/called by my middle name (Quinn). I have actually seen one (or two) of my past classmates who share my first name (David) refer to me as “David.” While I realize that our inability (as students in this system) to edit our own names means my name displays as “David Ebert” and that makes it easier to just call me by my first name, I just figured I’d start pointing this out here in my Introduction. 
No hard feelings will be felt if you call me “David,” of course, but I want to see if this method of pointing this out makes people any more aware of that “preference” of mine. 
I look very much forward to working (and learning) with all of you!
—Quinn
