Richard A. Blum

Richard Blum, Linux+ ce, has worked in the IT industry for more than 35 years as both a systems and a network administrator. During that time he's had the opportunity to work with lots of different computer products, including many different flavors of UNIX, and of course, Linux. Over the years he's also volunteered for several nonprofit organizations to help support small networks that had little financial support. Rich is the author of many Linux-based books for total Linux geeks, and teaches online courses in Linux and web programming. When he's not busy being a computer nerd Rich enjoys playing piano and bass guitar, and spending time with his wife Barbara, and two daughters, Katie and Jessica.
