User:Christian Pate

Hi!
Hi! I'm Christian Pate. I'm a system administrator from Vancouver, Canada. It's not a very glorious job for a guy with a Ph.D but it is what I enjoy. I'm not really a new Wikipedia user. I've been around since the beginning, but I've only ever done small edits and have never been registered. I'm hoping I can contribute my knowledge to Wikipedia.

Please feel free to contact me any time by any of the methods listed to the right.
