[[Image:Kieferskunk.jpg|left|thumb|133px|KieferSkunk]]'''KieferSkunk''' (born January 1977) is a member of the [[furry fandom]]. He lives in the [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]] region, and is married in real life to [[Firebringer]].

== Fursona ==
Kiefer, as his full alias suggests, is an average striped [[Skunk (species)|skunk]]. The character first started out as a realistic [[kangaroo]], but eventually evolved into more of a cartoon-character personality. In late 2001, he officially became a skunk in order to better reflect his player's changing personality and interests. (This decision was based partially on becoming a member of a [[DDR]]-themed bulletin board, where an account with the name "Kiefer" already existed.)

Prior to the creation of the kangaroo character, Kiefer was known as Dorsola the Dolphin, a cybernetically enhanced [[dolphin]] with telepathic and telekinetic capabilities. In real life, Kiefer is a software development engineer. In his spare time, he enjoys caring for his [[cat]]s, playing video games, programming, playing and composing music, and drawing.

== Projects ==
=== All Fur Fun ===
KieferSkunk was the head of registration for [[All Fur Fun]]. He was also the primary developer of the convention's website, and ran a few panels at the convention.

=== Sabrina Online Mirror Archive ===
Kiefer's website served as an official mirror archive of the [[Sabrina Online]] web comic by [[Eric W. Schwartz]], as well as for several [[fan-fiction]] series based on the comic. The mirrors were discontinued in 2008, and his website went offline (the domain lapsed) in 2011.

=== Video Game and Pinball Emulation ===
Mostly under the name Dorsola, Kiefer took part in the video-game emulation and pinball simulation communities as a reviewer and contributor. He reviewed more than sixty classic games for the website [http://www.emuviews.com JoseQ's EmuViews] until the website became inactive in February 2003.

In the Visual Pinball/VPinMAME community, Kiefer contributed to the design, layout and scripting of more than two dozen pinball table simulations. Additionally, he created several accurate physics simulators for use in pinball simulations, including several captive-ball systems, a table magnet, a turntable, and the "Turbo Lock" for the ''Indianapolis 500'' table.

=== Descent community ===
Also as Dorsola, Kiefer was an active participant in the "old school" ''[[Wikipedia:Descent (computer game|Descent]]'' community, centered around the popular 3D shooter game. In 1997, a driver developer for 3DFX (now part of [[Wikipedia:NVIDIA|NVIDIA]]) enlisted Kiefer as a beta-tester for his unofficial D2_3DFX project, which allowed [[Wikipedia:Descent II|Descent II]] to run on early 3DFX-based 3D accelerators. Kiefer later contributed an online [http://www.kieferskunk.net/d2_3dfx.htm FAQ] for this program and was long considered the authority on its technical issues.
