[edit] Self

I'm a 22 year old graduate student, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I grew up in Austin, TX, and I attended the University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering. Hook 'em horns!

[edit] Interests and Contributons

My main focus on Wikipedia so far has been on:

• Novelist Glen Cook and his works:
  • Garrett P.I.
  • The Black Company
• The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
• The Runelords saga by David Farland
• The Redwall series by Brian Jacques
• Tad Williams' trilogy, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
• Electronic musician Stuart Price and his band Les Rythmes Digitales

Current projects of mine include:

• Revise, expand, and improve Wikipedia's coverage of Alice in Chains albums and singles
• Vastly expanding the content of The Black Company, as well as adding Plot Summaries and Character Lists to the individual books in the series
• Improve the article on Sara Douglass and create pages for the six novels of The Wayfarer Redemption series

For a list of all pages I have created, see My Contributions.

[edit] User Boxes

Although I am personally a fan of user boxes, I am tempted to remove them due to clutter and overall lack of importance on a site such as Wikipedia. This is an encylopedia after all, not a blog. For the moment, however, they'll stay.
