Josh Root -- System Administrator

Geeks get this immediately. For others, I'll explain. In any modern
computer system, there is one top-level username with ultimate
control and power. For most of computing history that username has
been "root." Still is for Unix and Linux.

When a user gets such control and power it's called getting "root."
If your system is hacked, then you have been "rooted."

Josh Root is the system administrator at http://photo.net, a very
active photography site.
