Joseph Firmage


Born: Oct. 26, 1970, in Salt Lake City

Education: Attended the University of Utah from 1987 to 1989 but dropped out to start software company Serius Inc.

Career: At 18, he launched Serius, which produced programming tools for Macintosh software. He sold Serius to Novell in 1992 and stayed on as a vice-president until 1995, when he left to co-found Internet consulting company USWeb (now MarchFirst). Resigned under pressure in 1998, after posting on the Web a 600-page tome called ''The Truth,'' which espoused his belief in UFOs. Last year joined Carl Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, to co-found OneCosmos Network.
