About Me
I am currently a student at UW - Madison and am also a year round resident of Madison, Wisconsin, but I originally hail from Racine. I am majoring in Economics and getting a certificate in Computer Science, and also work at the school's IT help desk. I generally enjoy sports, both playing and viewing, especially Football, Volleyball, Ice hockey, Baseball, and Curling. I also enjoy music (playing and listening), sleeping, reading a good book and, of course, watching television.

I became interested in editing articles on Wikipedia after seeing the sorry state of my high school's entry. I did a bit of clean up and eventually started adding content and references, and found it quite rewarding. I have been hooked since then.

I am also participating in the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Education Program as one of the Campus Ambassadors to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and I am currently supporting Erik Olin Wright's graduate seminar on Theories of the State.
