If you have come to this page looking for some major conspiracy then before you go on further: I don’t know if aliens are real, who knows who killed JFK, and I’m pretty sure Tupac is dead!

What I am here for[edit]

I originally came here due to Wikipedia appearing in the news due to certain outside events. After a short bit, I saw various bits of vandalism and POV pushing going on and decided that reverting vandalism appealed to me. I am not some elite editor who posts all the articles they have started and worries about how long they've been a part of Wikipedia, nor am I some highfalutin expert who worries that no one recognizes me as an expert. My main concern is keeping the vandalism down to a minimum and reading good articles. I'm not after glory, barn stars, medals, etc. I am just here to keep things working and stay semi in the background.

About myself[edit]

Here goes: I grew up in Skaneateles New York. I enrolled at State University of New York at Oneonta where I joined the co-ed voluntary service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega and graduated with a degree in English.

For a short time, I was a door-to-door insurance salesman. After that frightening experience, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in August 2001. I was then transferred to Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton Ct where I was stationed on board the USS Pittsburgh (SSN-720) as a Sonar Technician. I changed rates and became a U.S. Navy Quartermaster. I was then transferred to Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk, VA where I was stationed on board the USS Shreveport (LPD-12). From there I had been honorably discharged and currently I work in the civilian nuclear power industry.

Some of my many myriad of hobbies have been: amateur photography, asylum history, creative writing, and much more than I can remember right now.

Cloisters of Moissac Abbey
Moissac Abbey was a Benedictine monastery in Moissac, Tarn-et-Garonne, in south-western France. A number of its medieval buildings survive, including the abbey church, which has a notable Romanesque sculpture around the entrance.
