I go by the user name CrazyElk on here.

I first discovered Wikipedia about two years ago and have long marvelled at its phenomenal growth. Along the way I occasionally would make minor edits and corrections (usually typography, grammar, and spelling) and did so anonymously. I finally got the urge to contribute more and registered my own account.

I live presently in Saginaw, Michigan. I grew-up in Saginaw, but I lived in several different places during my adult life including Detroit, Michigan, Kalamazoo, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois.

I am presently self-employed as a writer and my freelance projects include writing and editing various pieces of written communication for clients as well as my own more ambitious book projects, both fiction and non-fiction.

My major in college was Philosophy with a Classical Studies minor. I have taught Latin, forensic speech and debate to high school students. I have also worked in radio broadcasting as an on-air "personality," interviewer, reporter and program producer.

My interests include philosophy, Roman culture, Latin language and literature, and anthropology. I am an athiest and find in particular issues concerning religion to be interesting.
