Personal
There are four things that define me personally:
1) My faith
2) My wife
3) My family
4) My friends
My friends are chosen wisely because who we associate with not only affects what others think of us (which is actually quite irrelevant to me), but it also plays a huge role on who we are as individuals. If you do not believe me, look at your personality, then at the personalities of those closest to you...finding any similarities?
My family is...well, my family. Choose them or not, they are family. My family has made a huge impact on my life in both good and bad ways. I would have no other faily though...I would not be half the person I am today without them.
My wife is one of my main driving forces. Most things I do are in some shape, form, or fashion aimed towards pleasing her. Now this may be because we are still newlyweds...but I will let you who have been married far longer than us make your own minds up on that.
My faith...it is NOT a religion. The institution of religious constructs is what drove me away from my faith in my initial steps of exploration. We, as a society, have turned our faiths (no just Christian) into ritualistic "duties". I myself am a Christian. I have explored many faiths, and met with others who have explored much more than I have, however, I have yet to find any faith as real to me as Christianity. I could go on for hours on this topic, but instead i will leave you my email address...contact me if you would like to discuss anything. jhardy66@uga.edu

Professional
I am a computer person...plain and simple. My life, professionally, has almost always been computers. I love to work on them, with them, program them, whatever. Give me a job with computers and I am happy. I have been working in the computer field since I was eleven. I started out doing minor repairs to hardware and software, eventually starting to write programs. I then moved on to being one of the IT Professionals in the Madison County School System for two years prior to moving on to the University of Georgia. I worked as an IT Professional in the Food Service Department for almost four years. I loved my job there, but for personal reasons, had to move on...which brings me to my current job at Franklin College OIT, where I primarily support the Philosophy Department.

Extracurricular
Let's see...I guess the better question here would be what do I NOT do! I will try just about anything at least twice. As far as favorites go though, I would have to say running, soccer, and paintball. I am a very active person sports-wise. I am either running races, playing in soccer leagues, or competing in paintball tournaments year-round. I love to stay active and in shape. Outside of sports, I like to read at my own leisure, watch movies, eat (and eat, and eat, and eat...no really, ask my wife), listen to music... I guess I am the average 20-something guy in that respect.
