 A bit about myself and my wiki-philosophy: 

I'm an educator, author, and amateur historian living in Tampa, Florida. While out of the classroom on family leave during the 2007-08 school year, I stumbled across Wikipedia and quickly discovered that many articles about subjects that I know well were in dire need of assistance. Since I wasn't teaching in the classroom that year, I spent way too much time sorta-teaching on the internet by creating, expanding, and improving articles about history, my hometown, Florida Gators sports, and a plethora of other random topics that have caught my attention over the years.

While I started out as an eager and prolific contributor, wikilawyering and wiki-politicking took some of the fun out of this project over time. However, as a teacher, I know that Wikipedia has become perhaps the most important research site on the internet. So even though I'm usually pretty busy IRL, I still hang around here to incrementally expand coverage of topics that I know well and to fix vandalism on articles that I've edited in the past.
