About Me

 * I graduated from Pitzer college with a bachelors degree in Philosophy and having satisfied all pre-med requirements, including taking the MCAT. During college, I was a snowboarding instructor at Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, a resort just north of my school. I am originally from just outside DC in Montgomery County, Maryland. When I'm in town (and i'm often not), I am a volunteer Firefighter and EMT at one of the US's busiest heavy-rescue squads.

I have a very strong sense of obligation and responsibility, but I can be pretty damn lazy.

Contributions
So, I don't do a very good job of acting as my own historian. Instead of writing this as I write articles, most of these selections have been taken out of my contributions history, so it has been a slow process developing this list. Bear with me.

The biggest problem is that, frankly, i don't really care. but if i don't keep this list, i'll have no way of keeping up with the articles cause my watchlist is...messy.

Articles I started

 * OLGA - Online guitar tab resource
 * Screensaver Lifesaver - a distributed computing project that is trying to cure cancer
 * Rescue Squad - like a fire department, but staffing technical rescue units (and/or ambulances) instead of fire suppression.
 * Cris Kirkwood
 * Amos Ori
 * The United States Fire Administration
 * Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts - the closest ski-resort to LA, where I happen to work. The first article I started (I think).
 * Barry Sanders at wikiquote.
 * Coco (music) - local music from northern brazil. most of this article is a partial translation from the portuguese wikipedia.
 * Anti-Procreation Movement
