A few personal notes. I was born in Houston, TX, but what growing up I did was in Worthington, OH. I went to college at U of Arizona. Barely graduated, and went into the Army. I was a combat engineer officer, stationed in Hanau, West Germany (now just Germany).

After leaving the Army (honorably discharged), I entered the MS program in CS at the U of A. Then I went to work for IBM in Tucson. When I was with IBM, they dropped their long-standing policy of full employment, instituting the first-ever layoffs in the 50 years of the company. I had nothing to do with it. The Tucson plant was closed down several years after I left IBM. I had nothing to do with that, either. I returned to the U of A to get my PhD in CS. The year after I left, the Wildcats won the NCAA basketball championship. I had a lot to do with that.

My first faculty position was in the computer science and engineering dept of the University of Notre Dame. And that brings us to the present.

I live in Holly Springs, NC. with my wife Jennifer and our four children: Danielle, Nick, Bridget, and Anna. Below is a picture of us in July 2005. The Freehs
