Congrats Toby Carlson!

Hello Borg, My name is Toby AKA Trollby, I am married to a lovely women named Linda for 25 years (December 27). We will be celebrating 28 years together in May 2012, we have one son Zac who is 12 going on 28 (the teens will be worse I am sure). Linda and I were born in Wisconsin, but have lived in many states from the Mid-west out to the West Coast and back. Since family is mostly in WI we ended up back here in 1990 and the rest is history.

I am a Senior Criminal Analyst for the Wisconsin Department of Justice in the Division of Criminal Investigations for the Computer Forensics Unit (formally Computer Crimes Unit). I am the Units Network and Server Specialist but I also work on Computers, Cell phones, GPS, Game consoles and Small Electronics. Anything that has memory or storage I work with. The line of work I do is very stressful, the average person only last 2-5 years before burn-out. Crimes against children is one of the toughest fields as far as stress and emotional drain on a person, so one thing that people in my line of work have to learn or be able to learn is to compartmentalize their brain, to be able to disconnect from work or it will eat you up. Our Motto is"We Exist to Assist", since our unit's main goal is to support the entire state in any computer related criminal investigations, and I have supported criminal cases from local Police to INTERPOL investigations from 3 countries.
