Scott Gallagher has been fascinated with technology since he was in elementary school, when he used to play Oregon Trail. His love continued through middle school, working on more Apple IIe computers. In high school, he learned how build computers and program in BASIC! His college years were all about server technologies such as Novell, Microsoft, and Red Hat. After college, he continued to work on Novell, all while keeping an interest in all the technologies. He then moved into managing Microsoft environments and eventually into what he is the most passionate about, Linux environments, and now his focus is on Docker and cloud environments.
