Biography

Welcome to my WP userpage! My technical interests run the gamut: digital & film photography, firearms, PC construction and repair, and Android development, just to name a few. Some previous adventures also emcompass the design of three consecutive BBSes (the last as regional coodinator for echomail); linking my cranky IRC bots with like-minded owners on EFnet & Undernet; and coding a GPL-licensed iptables firewall script.

RC Patroller

Besides my five domain names for assorted ventures, I run an enterprise-class SMP ProLiant ML370 at home, which hosts Apache, Tor and distributed computing projects on a Debian platform. There are also two Galaxy S II Android phones, a Windows/Ubuntu workstation, two laptops, and a FON WiFi hotspot, all networked through a router using custom DD-WRT firmware.

As an aspiring on-air DJ, I attended broadcasting trade school while living in North Carolina. I also worked part-time as a firefighter, and have several engineering classes under my belt from Duke University. After returning to Michigan, I studied to become an Emergency Medical Technician, graduating first in my class. As I continued in the paramedic course, I endured a close encounter with my own mortality, derailing my immediate plans to practice medicine.

I hold a lifetime Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's Permit from the FCC, and will be testing for my Technical Class license in amateur radio. I expect to volunteer for ARES and/or RACES, leveraging my emergency services experience to support disaster communications. I'm also a coordinator for a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) team, and an associate member of the Michigan Sheriff's Association.

On Wikipedia, I clean, rewrite and otherwise improve articles as needed; I also use huggle to revert vandalism and nonsense edits (you should give it a try!). You can see my latest edits, view comprehensive stats for all of my contributions, or browse my subpages, where an impromptu WP:ToDo list resides.

Questions, comments, ideas? Post them to my Talk Page, send me a private e-mail (encryption to PGP key 0xC5AAA22F optional), or exchange thoughts telepathically. Be bold and AGF!
