My avatar is Leinad Meriman and I am working with many friends to build the Iowa region in Linden Labs' Second Life. I teach Information Systems and Business Planning at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa. Computers and technology are a major part of my life. I am also a collector of US coins and stamps, Israel stamps, baseball cards, robot ttoys and Magnus Robot comics. I play ping pong with my son Greg and try to stay active.

In Real Life I oversee Adult Education for Grace Church in Des Moines, IA. I have a wonderful wife and three great kids.
