About Me
I am not really active anymore on any of the Wikimedia projects. Work and other interests leave very little time for them. I now live in Richmond, Va. If there is anything interesting occurring in this area, please feel free to message me and I will try to cover it.

I discovered Wikinews in mid-March 2005 while trying to start a Wiki based news website. I had just finished getting my site set up when I found Wikinews. I was very happy to discover I would not need to be the one to start it. :) I joined Wikinews and made my first edit on March 15 2005. I became an admin on 25 May 2005. On 3 October 2005 I became a bureaucrat. I am a former member of the Wikinews Arbcom and I have Checkuser status. I am a former Steward.

I am interested in stories about technology, law, Fiji and the rest of the South Pacific.
