I can't imagine why any of you would want
to know what I look like, but I get an assload of requests. . . . so
here ya go. . . this is me:
Click anyone one of the pictures to see
more photos...from the 80's until now...SCARY stuff, be prepared.
( there are a
bunch of pictures on a separate page )
We're talking these are "Web
Cam" photos here folks, I am not that scary in real life. . . I am
actually the EXTREME opposite, a very friendly guy. There are lots more
pictures in there, so click the link.
Hypothermia takes up almost all my free
time. If I am not begging for interviews, I am begging hardware
companies for products to give away to you guys. Trust me, begging from
companies can be a full time job. I do the Killer Gaming Rig contest as
well every 90 days or so, and that in itself requires a TON of
coordination.
Lately, every waking moment (that
I am not working at [H]ardOCP & Hypothermia)
I have my nose to the grindstone at [H] Console:
This is the humble ABODE.
. . . We have a two story, 4 bedroom home. The two car garage
that has been carpeted and is now my office. I live in Alaska with my beautiful
wife and two awesome children.
You can see my work area here
and here
and the [H]
Console / Hypothermia labs here!
Even though I don't drink
or smoke, I have been in the bar business for most of my adult career. I
am a former manager at the International Airport, I manage all the food and
beverage concessions ( all the bars and restaurants ) in the airport.
With 8 businesses and over 135 employees, things tend to get a tad
hectic at times. Although things may be busy / hectic, I pride
myself on being the type of boss that I always wanted to have when I was
an employee. Before that, I was a manager at the Aladdin Hotel
& Casino in Las Vegas.
My other great
love/hobby is collecting old cars. . . I have a few:
You can see a total
restoration of one of my cars from start
to finish HERE. Great stuff!
OLD
STUFF
Way back in the day, I won a contest held
on www.hothardware.com for
great overclockin' ideas!! Rather cool, and scored an MSI motherboard to
boot. . . and that is what started me down the path to owning my own
website.

Another great article featuring my design
prowess ( fancy werdz. . . ) is posted at:
http://www.hardocp.com/articles/cooling/reader_cooling/case_cooling_by_hocpers.html
In addition to the reviews
I do for HardOCP.com, I have written several articles for
magazines such as Smart Computing and CPU Magazine.
Funny as it may seem, both those two
articles and the help from those guys is what got me on the internet in
the first place. There would be NO Hypothermia without the help of these
guys. A short list of people that really made a difference:
Steve "sCary"
Gibson, from ShackNews
Sean "Redwood"
Martin from Stomped
Stephen "Blue"
Heaslip from Blues News
Dave Altavilla from Hot
Hardware
Billy "Wicked"
Wilson from VoodooExtreme
Kyle Bennett from HardOCP
Cool, yet slightly revealing pictures and
a short interview with me can be found at:

A more recent interview was done by the
fellas at OCAddiction:
http://www.ocaddiction.com/articles/misc/hypothermia/index.html
And the well renowned www.pcgamer.com
did a rather lengthy interview with me this year regarding gaming fame,
hardware and thoughts in general at :

This month I am featured in the U.K.
magazine PC GUIDE. Speaking of PC Guide magazine, a big Thanx
goes out to Graham Barlow, Assistant Editor, for giving me the
opportunity to showcase some of my inventions/ideas. So if ya see the
magazine on the stands. . . get one! ! !
