Commentary

Hi, I'm an avid (Score: 212) Wikipedia supporter (since September, 2002), although I frequently take large amounts of time between short bursts of editing. Here I am most well known for having authored thousands of articles on U.S. cities and counties using the rambot and other automatic article generation techniques. I am a happily married male living in the U.S. near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I have a B.S. degree in computer science from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I am employed as a software engineer and occasionally work part-time as a preacher at the church that I attend in the Church of the Brethren denomination. I'm an amateur photographer, aquarist, woodworker/carpenter, chef, and gardener. For what its worth, I recently updated my resume too, in case anyone is interested in some of my qualifications.

Having a strong background in mathematics, I am naturally drawn to programming and statistics, which is part of the reason for the creation of the various geographic articles from gigabytes of raw public domain data. I also enjoy writing about topics that have local implications for my birthplace in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, such as the section on covered bridges. I also have an interest in health related topics partially due to my wife, an Occupational Therapist. One of my hobbies is as an aquarist, and so I have written many articles of a variety of freshwater fish species.

I'm pretty easygoing and don't mind emails from users with any type of question or comment for me. Feel free to email me.
