Initial involvement with Wikipedia
User:Michael.Motherway

I first got involved with Wikipedia by adding some information about former Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich, whom I worked for during some summers in my college years.

I'd like to contribute more as I am an avid Wikipedia user for many years. It is often my first source of understanding when looking up something new to me.

Education

 * Hibbing High School, Hibbing, Minnesota -1983.
 * Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering -1987- University of Minnesota

Interests
I read a lot and my interests are: antiquities, the Great War, Chicago history, biographies. I also like: Mark Twain, William Faulkner and when I get frustrated I read science fiction. I am trained as an engineer and a statistician and work on "big data" applications in manufacturing and therefore my knowledge of the Apache Software Foundation is considerable. Other interests are identified here.
