My name is Grant Rose. I'm a Wikipedian from Virginia, U.S.A. I'm currently attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, though I'm originally from Crozet. I mainly do cleanup and minor additions to existing articles, but I'm gradually increasing my level of contribution.

If I have any fields of "expertise", they are probably computer science (which is my major in college) and computer and video games (the playing and designing of which are two of my greatest passions).

I'm also an avid fan heavy metal (mostly English and Nordic bands — I avoid most contemporary American metal besides southern / stoner metal) and rock of the late 1960s and early 1970s. I also compose metal music (via .midi software) as a hobby.
