My name is John Wood and I am a Scientologist living in East Grinstead, West Sussex, UK. I was born in 1959 and am married with 3 children.
My original reason for becoming a Wikipedia editor was to correct falsehoods that have unfortunately found their way in here about Scientology, its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, its secular activities such as Narconon and Criminon, and Dianetics. These falsehoods were added by people who obviously have no respect for Wikipedia's reliable sources guidlines and are using Wikipedia as a PR tool for their own ends.
I also have many other interests. In fact, I am interested in pretty much everything! My other main interest, however, is all things Monty Python-related (see List of things referred to in the works of Monty Python), especially Terry Gilliam's 1985 Brazil (film) that I am passionate about. It's been a bit of a life project for me (well, since 1985 anyway) in that I have met half of the cast as well as its director and visited nearly all of the locations where it was shot.
I work for izimi by day and in my 'spare time', I offer internet marketing services in the form of reciprocal linking and by submitting stories to internet press release sites, news aggregation sites and social networking sites as well as to my own blog.
I went to Cranleigh School and then the University of Surrey where I gained a BSc (Hon) in Hotel & Catering Management. I worked in hotels for a while, including London's 5-star May Fair Hotel but then progressed into the computer industry (in sales and marketing) in the late 80s when the very idea of a PC with a hard drive (as opposed to just floppy drives) was exciting! I've sold Novell networks, Silicon Graphics computers and web applications in my time. I am also a former staff member of Narconon UK.
