This is an old revision of the document!
Greetings!
I am John D. Bell, your track head for Action/Adventure, as well as event coordinator for Geeks With Guns.
2014 will be my fourth Penguicon; I was “dragged” to my first one by a fellow author in 2011, and I attended much of the Literature track, including Cat Rambo's workshop. In 2012, I volunteered to lead GwG (even though I hadn't handled a firearm since the mid-70's!), and I attended an assortment of activities in just about all of the tracks. In 2013, I re-started the martial arts track (A/A), with the very generous assistance of Heather Gutterman and the rest of the staff at Polaris Fellowship of Weapons Study. This year, I'm presenting in the Tech track, plus “all of the above”. 
Professionally, I'm a computer systems administrator and (rather out-of-date) open source programmer. I'm trying to become a published SF author (several short stories and a novel in progress).
Please do not hesitate to email me with suggestions about how to make Action/Adventure, GwG (or really, any part of Penguicon) better, or if you have any questions.
See you all in May!
