I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and work in a cartographic / geotechnical job with a real estate company. I took an extended wikibreak in the spring of 2007, while I worked on completing my Masters thesis. I finally graduated from the University of Utah with an M.S. in Geography in Summer 2007. I'm slowly getting back into a few projects here.

[edit] Editing

I primarily edit articles relating to Geographic Information Systems and the Western (U.S.).

[edit] Articles I am researching

I plan to expand, or create, these articles when I have time, and more reference material:

  • Robbers Roost - hideout in southeastern Utah during the outlaw era
  • Amasa Mason Lyman - early LDS Church figure, pioneer, and controversial guy.
  • Caleb Rhoads and Abraham Powell - early settlers of eastern Utah
  • Spring Canyon (Utah) - site of a number of coal camps in the early 20th century, now entirely abandoned.
  • Uinta Basin - perhaps the last major region of Utah which does not have its own article.
  • Danger Cave - archaeological site in western Utah.

[edit] Articles I originated

I'm still working on these:
