User:SirValentine

I'm just an occasional dabbler, not a dedicated Wikipedian.

In the rest of my time, I'm a husband and father, software developer, and soldier.

My handle is from my old, pre-internet BBSing days. Back then, I used the handle "Valentine", after the main character in a novel by a favorite author of mine. After a particularly notable act of chivalry and self-sacrifice, my Sysop knighted me to "SirValentine".
