Why am I here?
I created this account to help with the Tennis articles; which relate to the Tennis Portal. I am eclectic in my interests, with a few strong points here and there. (Ibid. Avicennasis) I am appalled at general vandalism as much as overzealous editors. I promote The 10 Simple Rules. I have been known to make updates in any of the categories listed on the right.

Wikipedian Status: Member since January, 2006 (18 years, 183 days).

What have I done? Edit Count: 6000+

Who am I?

 * I am a geek of the first water, but prefer to be an IT Renaissance man.
 * I am currently doing contract IT work in Boise, Idaho. Since, I generally work within IT/Web Departments; I am usually promoting the editing of Wikipedia on behalf of my employers. Although some of my edits may concern my previous employers, I am not in Public Relations and my contributions do not represent the views or opinions of my employers or any of their subsidiaries.
