About Your Host

Hello, I am your host, Ray Bowers... Welcome to Bowers.com!

My engement portrait, April 2007

For users who are logged in, you can see my profile for more...

I could post some basic information, but if you are really curious to find out more about who would spend so much of their free time setting up a domain like this, you might just want to look at some of my personal sites (listed below) or feel free to drop me an e-mail.

So why did I do it? All for the e-mail address! In the mid-90's when the internet started to catch on, I decided I really wanted the e-mail address ray@bowers.com. Fortunately, the domain was still available, so I grabbed it up and have been using it ever since! With an e-mail that easy to remember, I will not have to worry about friends ever loosing contact with me again. (Unless they just want to forget me... *chuckle*)

Of course, at first I really did not know what to do with the domain itself. I used Bowers.com for my personal domain for a while, but eventually I decided to set up RayBowers.com for my personal use and try to make Bowers.com more for family oriented information and interaction. I still have not figured out a long term plan, but I am open to ideas on what else to add here. Have any ideas?

What can I say about myself? I have had several major obsessions over the years... Competitive and social Swing and C/W dancing, photography (yes, I have a studio in my basement), juggling (made it up to 7 balls and yes I own torches) and most recently woodworking. Although single for a VERY long time, I finally got married, May 19, 2007! I am a Principle IT Architect with Raytheon where I specialize in Data Warehousing - a subject which puts most non-techies to sleep.

I hope to hear from Bowers all over! Enjoy the site,

Ray Bowers
