Hobbies: paintball, programming/computers, enduro riding, RC toys, spelunking, horses...

Background: Sammy grew up like most other kids, but he discovered he had a penchant for computers while pursuing a need for more reading material than was locally available in his small hometown in the Appalachians.

He never thought it was anything special but he found he was drawn to it, as an outlet, as an interest, as a road to discovery... it was this road to discovery that later led him into trouble, but he wasn't destructive, merely... curious.

As with many things the world virtual has it's own rules, tho few they may be. Ethics and morals lend themselves to different expressions, different boundaries. "Hacking" didn't hold the negative connotations that it did to the uninitiated.

Fortunately he was true to his raisin' and was never caught doing anything.. malicious. He even turned a lot of "discoveries" into job opportunities, showing companies and individuals weaknesses in their systems, providing programming solutions, making a few friends, and a few enemies... but no one ever knew just how much wasn't reported.

After a near fatal accident Sammy, or Bit as he was known in the virtual world, found himself in the comforting arms of an entity known as the Morrow Project. The staff expressed their needs, the bigger picture, and Sammy found he couldn't refuse to support such an august endeavor.

He subsequently provided lots of staff support until a team, a science team, was being formed by a man who he had chanced to do some work for in the past. An ex-director in the W.H.O. Sammy had met when he chanced to do some data extrapolation research, and noticed an serious flaw in various databases being kept by different organizations.

Although not altogether by permission he created a new, integrated relational database that pointed out some heretofore unexpected correlations that allowed Mr. Randall to identify some critical advances at the Communicable Disease Response and Monitoring arm of the W.H.O.

Taking the opportunity to showcase an advanced prototype software model he thought would be perfect for their mission he presented it to the man he knew could realize it's value, and was subsequently assigned to the team to support it.
