Aloha! Full disclosure: I work in the public affairs office of the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM). I do have a background in geopolitics, and my work does give me an interest in military affairs and politics in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. As such, those pages will probably be the bulk of my contributions to Wikipedia. This is not a single-purpose account, however; I also have an avid interest in blacksmithing, camping, martial arts and video games, so expect to see contributions from me along those lines if I feel I can add value to those pages.

I am not being paid to make edits to any Wikipedia pages; this is done in my own time in the interest of enhancing public knowledge. I may, however, ask colleagues to fact-check military-focused submissions in the interest of accuracy. I have no interest in spinning the truth for political gain - only in correcting factual errors and updating outdated information. I'm fully committed to writing from NPOV, and invite anyone to check me on that and work with me to ensure that commitment is met.

Hopefully this assuages any concerns in regards to potential conflicts of interest, but feel free to keep tabs on me and make sure I'm providing as much value to the Wiki community as I hope to.
