I live in Salem, Oregon, where I teach fencing. I am also a non-traditional student in the College of Liberal Arts at Willamette University.

I'm still getting my feet wet as a Wikipedian. Actually, I'm still getting my toes damp.

As an aspiring Renaissance man (really more of a philomath, but how many people know what that means? I didn't until five minutes ago...), I am interested in many, many topics. I have no real idea yet how my interests will fit into Wikipedia.

How on earth did I get sucked into working on articles related to exercise equipment? Augh. That is NOT what I am interested in -- philomath or not. I'm going to try to make some useful contributions to fencing articles, as that is what I know. I am sure I will be unable to avoid forays into other areas, too.

And Category:Oregon in the American Civil War.... I'll be focusing on that, too. Twisted86 09:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
