My name is Thom Brooks. As of January 2009 my wife and I have relocated to Austin, TX.

Prior to this, I lived in Chicago, IL since 2001 and had worked for the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum since 2002. I was the Senior Systems Engineer in the I.T. department.

My resume (updated February 2009) is available online, or as a PDF file, Word document or plain text.
Portfolios of my work are available for the following years: 2006 (10 MB PDF), 2007-2008 (5 MB PDF)

I've volunteered with Special Days Camp, a camp for children with cancer and their siblings, since 1998.

Why 'unithom'? I have been riding the unicycle since 1997.

However, in 2004 I finally graduated to a two-wheel bike. Since then, I have logged over 20,000 miles.
Most of this has been from bike commuting year-round, and participating in the MS Bike Tour.

I also enjoy rock climbing, snowboarding, hang gliding and old text adventure games.
