This web site was created and maintained by Tom Nunamaker, a retired USAF pilot who is also one of Dan's students from the July 2006 class. The web site started in Nov 2006 as a way for Tom to keep the myriad of Dan's ideas and materials in one place while Tom was a student. Other students were interested in sharing ideas, tools, files etc and site began to grow. The web site originally wasn't intended for such a large number of people but has been growing to accomodate the needs of Dan's students.

Although Tom grew up near Dan in the Chicago area, Tom now lives in Germany near Ramstein Air Base, South West of Frankfurt.
