My name is R. Kent Francis.  My wife Judy and I live at 
3251 West 6610 South in West Jordan, UT 84084-6902 in case 
you ever want to write to me off-net.

My wife is an Executive Secretary. I am an Oracle Programmer/Developer
Consultant. I am running my Cybernetic Solutions Company business most
recently working on a contract for the City of Minneapolis; but also
for Novell, Hill AFB and a number of local businesses.  In addition, 
We are also Independant Travel Agents with American Travel Bureau.

My major e-mail address is cyberman@xmission.com but I own various 
internet sites: cneticsolutions.com for Cybernetic Solutions Company 
where I am the President (kent@cneticsolutions.com); 
kent.myatbtravel.com where Judy and I are travel agents 
(travelworld@xmission.com); and LDS1MAN.com our personal site

and leave a message at (801)966-0999 or fax (801)966-9417

We are active "Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-day Saints). I have served on the High Council of three 
different Stakes and numerous Bishoprics. Judy has been President 
of all the various Woman's organizations.  We recently served as 
Salt Lake City InterCity Service Missionaries.  We are also the
Provident Living Specialists for our area teaching people how to
store and use whole grains and prepare for emergencies.

Information about the Church can be obtained at http://lds.org
We would be glad to answer any questions or send you literature.
  
We have 11 children and 30 grandchildren and are very busy with 
our family. If you are interested, be sure to follow links on my 
homepage (www.lds1man.com) to the family sites of Francis, Loveridge,
Turnidge, Rawson.

I subscribe to many online forums and so I read about 300 e-mail messages
a day from all over the world.

My hobbies include Genealogy, Family History, computers, and the internet.
I read 3-4 science fiction books a week as well as keep up on a lot
of computer literature.

I have read extensively in Church History (DHC, JD, MS T&S) as well as 
dozens of pioneer journals and quite a bit of "anti" stuff.  Nibley is 
one of my favorite "modern" authors and I have read all the apocraphyl 
documents that have been translated to English.  I have a firm testimony 
of Jesus Christ, His Gospel, the restoration of His ancient Church again
through Joseph Smith, and the divine calling of the General Authorities
today.

I grew up in Los Altos, California, and when I returned from a
proselyting mission to Chile (1963), I attended San Jose State 
University where I eventually got a degree in Engineering Managment 
and a MS in Cybernetics (1972).  I went to work for IBM (1966) and 
Control Data as a systems & application programmer, and marketing staff 
at HQ in Connecticut (1980) and requested a transfer to Utah when the
Time-Sharing division went under.

In 1984 I created my own consulting/software company Cybernetic 
Solutions and we currently market a software program THE SURVEY 
- An Opinion Research Tool for the PC.  You can visit our home page on
