description: Valerio Henriquez is a network engineer for the Federal government of the United States, by trade, and has been on the cutting edge of technology. From living abroad on a nuclear submarine for months at a time while in the Navy, to becoming a major technical player for internet startup companies (box with parts) during the internet boom of the 1990s. All though he has a knack for technology, hes no regular techie. Hes a New York raised Puerto Rican living in the marvelous Mid-South. Hes also a writer, traveler, inventor, modern day thinker, an avid chess player, music lover of all genres, artist, and a submarine, motorcycle and car enthusiast.

Enjoy, and may God bless you all. Valerio Henriquez
