Pecosdave is a geek (real name David Allen Monroe) who has showed a passing interest in technology and physics since childhood, however due to his rural upbringing he was limited in his oppertunity to explore his interest until he graduated high school in 1996. As a result much of what he was able to learn on was depricated when he was first able to get his hands on it, for example his first computer - aquired in 1995 - was an IBM PC Convertible. He learned computers and operating systems that are before his time, but unlike his technical peers he learned them in a catch up manner. As a result he has large amounts of knowledge from experience, but his knowledge also contains large amounts of holes from being "out of time".

His knowledge is not limited to the computer field. He has experience with audio/video, wiring relay panels, and is a decent mechanic. When he was younger he actually desired a career in audio/video, but due to various factors such as poor hearing, the onset of the dot com bubble, and the plethora of available jobs that resulted he slowly migrated into the computer and networking industry.
