I'm a chemical engineer turned software consultant turned scientist turned medical student. I grew up in rural southern Ohio, and spent 10 years or so in beautiful
California. I later worked as an independent software consultant in the United Kingdom, including about a year in
London. What an amazing, wonderful city! Recently, I graduated from
Ohio State University with a degree in
Molecular Genetics and completed a study uncovering
GenX pollution in
Appalachian Ohio. Now, I'm beginning a new career, entering the
Geisel School of Medicine at
Dartmouth College to become a doctor.
On Wikipedia
I'm less active these days, but still check in on a regular basis.
Some of my contributions before my new role include:
Disambiguation, disambiguation, and still more disambiguation. I've focused most of my Toolserver work to the
Disambiguation pages with links project, culminating in the
Monthly Dab Challenge, a friendly contest to see who can fix the most disambig links in a month. The contest has been a huge success, greatly reducing the
number of links to disambiguation pages. It is my conviction that we can overcome this huge backlog - eventually.
Vandal fighting, using a cocktail of
Huggle,
Twinkle, and
popups to battle the swarm.
Taking photos for Wikipedia articles, usually images of large buildings or bridges that need to be stitched into a panorama. I use a
Canon EOS 20D, stitch my panoramas using
PTGui, and clean them up in
Photoshop CS3. You can see some of my favorite contributions on
my Commons page. To the left is the
New River Gorge Bridge - a picture that earned
featured status for Wikipedia.
On Tool Labs
I am also a developer for
Tool Labs, which is a lot of fun. Here's my released tools:

Categorized articles - Articles are tagged as uncategorized but do have at least one non-hidden category. Updated daily.
