B. Background Summary
---------------------
Harris grew up in a supportive family and distinguished himself early on by his
easy-going personality, despite his ungainly size. Early on he earned the nickname "Happy"
from his father since he almost always wore a smile. At school, he towered over all the
other children and for many years was quite embarrassed at the attention it brought him,
much of it negative. Stereotypically seen as large and slow-witted, he found the early
school years challenging and had to cultivate a scrappy personality to go along with his
normal good humor.
His slow-going attitude couldn't forever hide his quick mind, however, and by the time he'd
reached middle school his teachers and classmates began to take notice. His intellectual
growth began to keep pace with his physical and he expressed a keen desire to understand
how the world around him worked. His search led him to the sciences, particularly astronomy
and computers (with which he had a considerable affinity). When interest in the sciences
led to interest in Starfleet, his family didn't stand in the way.
Once in Starfleet, Hap distinguished himself as a generalist among an increasingly
specialized officer corps. While it sometimes proved a liablity in gaining the attention
of superiors, it also meant he was able to contribute to a wide variety of scenarios.
Thus, he's experienced the breadth of Fleet service, from picket duty to scientific survey,
from diplomacy to open conflict. During all of it, he's maintained his 'easy does it'
personality and workman-like approach to duty; one that positions him well for future
command.
Recently, his career has been sidetracked by conflict between he and a former CO, leading
to groundside reassignment. It's uncertain whether this mark against him will spoil
what has otherwise been an exemplary career.

C. Medals and Commendations

None at this time.
==========================================================================
V. Skills Profile
==================
Harris has considerable skill when it comes to computers and electronic
devices. Additionally, his fluency with mathematics, physics, and
astronomy give him an advantage in navigation/astrogation. He is widely
read and cross-trained on a number of ship systems though lacks much of
the specialized knowledge a department head most often has in a relevant
discipline. He has been a boxer and wrestler since adolescence and can
put his formidable size to good use in hand-to-hand combat. He has trained
his memory and is able to recall, in detail, whatever he reads.
==========================================================================
VI. Recent Fitness Reports
==========================
Though his height and weight are somewhat abnormal, Sonny Harris appears
to be in good health with normal biofunction. He could stand to lose
a few pounds in order to gain higher mobility and further aerobic
exercises would increase his cardiac function, however he has thrived
at his current level for some time so no concern is warranted. Disease,
allergies, medical problems: none seem present. Harris is cleared for
active duty.
-- Dr. Andrew Emory
Chief Surgeon, USS CURIE
==========================================================================
VII. Psychological Profile
==========================
While "Hap" Harris might be aptly named, it's clear his demeanor hides a
degree of discomfort both with his dimensions and his current accomplishments.
With his latest rotation away from shipboard duty and resentment towards
former CO, Commander Dillard, I feel he will inevitably have questions about
his ability and his capacity to make good decisions in stressful situations.
This can often be a good check for those in line command but he should be
observed to see that it doesn't become a recurrent, negative thought.
Nevertheless, his sense of honor and duty, capacity for objective assessment,
self-awareness, amiability, intelligence and intuition are all present in
quantities one would expect to find in good Starfleet Command Officers.
-- Dr. Sheldon McAvoy
Staff Psychologist, OUTPOST 28
==========================================================================
VIII. Current Recreational Interests
==================================
Growing up in rural environs, Harris has a fondness for outdoors activities
like camping and fishing. He keeps fit with boxing, wrestling, and swimming.
Likewise, he is an avid reader whose interest are mostly technical and
technological; he has very little interest in 'fluff'. His prime recreation,
however, is socializing with others. Whether it's playing cards, watching vids,
or sharing a meal, most of his free time is spent out among his fellow officers
and crew.
