Q. Name:

A. Leigh Keller

Q. Location:

A. Horsham VIC

Q. Occupation:

A. Soil Tester

Q. Hobbies:

A. Computers, IT, and gaming.

Q. Are you married, single, etc?

A. In a long term relationship.

Q. Does your significant other, assuming you have one, support your F@H activities?

A. She actively supports it, I wouldn't be able to do what I do without her.

Q. Congratulations on being chosen the Iron Folder for the month. How does it feel to be chosen by your peers for such a prestigious award?

A. It was amazing to win the first Iron Folder held, although I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I was captain of the Chimp Challenge 2010 at the time :)

Q. Why do you think you were chosen?

A. See above.

Q. Why do you participate in Folding?

A. I fold for the cure, in the hope that one day many diseases will become irrelevant, that are currently a huge downfall to society.

Q. If Folding could find a cure for just one disease tomorrow, which one would it be and why?

A. Just one? It would be too hard to pick one, so I would say Cancer in general, so many people are affected by this disease.

Q. What would you like Team 24, to know about you, that might surprise them?

A. I live in country VIC, am the doting father to 2 kids that aren't mine. I also have qualifications to be a farmer :D I also started folding just to get at the free or very cheap parts available :D

Q. Where do you see your folding activities in the next year or two?

A. Hopefully able to increase output, but I will be still firmly in the friends of Team 24.

Q. Have you been successful borging? If so, what kind of borging worked for you? (For example, friends, family, and/or work?)

A. I guess you could say I have a good friend who's computer is borged, and he doesnt mind it at all.

Q. Any ideas on improving the DC subforum, or suggestions or improvements for our Team?

A. It always needs to run challenges of some description!

Q. What challenges have you faced in your F@H efforts?

A. Money - Isnt that the obvious one? I would love to be able to splash out and get a 1155 2600k or 3 and go nuts, but I cannot do this, instead I am still folding on a 9600 gso and 3 2xx series cards.

Q. How much do you spend on F@H? If you consider equipment, electricity, and other activities that support F@H... how much of your life has DC’ing consumed?

A. Probably little now on equipment, but electricity is expensive, for a family of 4 at the moment, with multiple fishtanks as well, out last power bill was over $1k. I guess that a fair amount of my time has been devoted to the project, but I have found some excellent friends and love every minute of it. Running the Iron Folder and being Captain for OCAU has to be highlights, but they can be very time consuming at times!

Q. Do you have friends, family, or neighbors that know about your F@H activities? What do they think?

A. Friends, one who supports my "habit" not too sure how much he understands, but they all know what I believe in folding wise.

Q. Do you game? If so, how long and what types do you prefer? Consoles or PC?

A. Yes! Whenever I can, I have played WoW and also own a few games on steam, as well as many others. I prefer PC, but then nothing can beat a bit of GH on ps2 :)

Q. Is there anything else you would like to add?

A. Just to say thanks to the team for being there at times, the IRC chat is like some of my best friends are there, I have met 2 of them, and we are all spread around australia + overseas, yet I can always rely on someone to be there when I need them to be.

On behalf of Team 24, I thank you as well for your contributions to this team and I thank you for your time to talk about it. Keep on folding!

Amazing, the first person to receive the Iron Folder of the Month Twice!!

Running the Chimp Challenge has to be a big part in the voting.

For the better good, and the community.

Cancer, cause it affects so many people in different ways.

What would you like Team 24, to know about you, that might surprise them?

I grew up in a small town, and then moved onto a farm when I was 13 with parents, I'm probably one of the few folders who don't live in a large city. I also have a brother and sister, my brother passed away at age 10, due to major disabilities and my sister passed away at birth.

Increasing hopefully!!

Money, its always the challenge.. My last power bill was $1.2k for the quarter.

How much do you spend on F@H? If you consider equipment, electricity, and other activities that support F@H... how much of your life has DC’ing consumed?

Too much already probably, applies to both questions!

Yes, most don't understand though.

Just brought a xbox 360, but love PC gaming as well.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
