[edit] Basic data

• Date of birth: 9 December 1961
• Birthplace: Louisville, Kentucky
• Current residence: Arlington, Virginia

[edit] Education

• High school: Paducah Tilghman High School, Paducah, Kentucky, 1979
• College:
  • Bachelor of Science, chemical engineering, University of Kentucky, 1983
  • Master of Science, chemical engineering, University of Kentucky, 1988

[edit] Other facts

I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Chicagoland, both in the city of Chicago and in Berwyn, but I spent my teenage years in Paducah. After a convoluted path from my bachelor's to my master's degree, and an excruciating job search, I started working for Union Carbide in South Charleston, West Virginia (living in Dunbar) in 1990. I got "Dow-sized" in 2002, as I was one of the many people let go not long after Dow bought Union Carbide in 2001. After about a year working for a Dow contractor doing much the same work I had been doing, I wound up in law school.

As of May 27, 2008, I will be working for the United States Patent and Trademark Office, ultimately as a patent examiner.

[edit] Articles I've worked on

Too many to count! The last time I looked, I'd made at least one edit to over 11,000 articles. Granted, most of those edits were minor fixes (spelling, grammar, typos), adding categories, and the like.

[edit] NBA Team Categories

Hey there! Thanks for adding the Royals team category and putting a few players in there. I did some adjustments with the Warriors and Lakers, giving them distinct Philadelphia/San Francisco and Minneapolis categories, so I'm grateful I don't have to do the Royals adjustment alone.  ;)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up posterized. Very nice job.

Thanks for adding to the Frankfort article.

[edit] Lists of schools

Hey. While I love all of the work you're doing, I need to point out one (possible?) problem: The Manual of Style recommends avoiding links within headings Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings). Apparently is screws up things for some users (much as I agree than linking to each county article would be a nice thing).

Thanks... Flyers13 21:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Masters

I contacted Ivan Maisel in the Spring regarding the proper way to render the name of golf's first major, and he said that ESPN's style editors had been told that the first reference to the event should be "Masters Tournament," and not "The Masters." I see you just changed it so I thought I'd let you know that.

[edit] Barnstar

		The Reynald Pedros' Barnstar
		I present you this original sport man's barnstar in recognition and appreciation to your tireless efforts in the improvement of football (soccer) articles. Just like Reynald, you've struggled to make this football world a better place. AbdelkweliTalk
