I made my first logged-in edit to Wikipedia on May 9, 2006 and quickly spiraled into wikiholicism. I think more than anything else, I admire the fact that assuming good faith is a tenet of this community. I enjoy working constructively towards the dissemination of knowledge in a clear, neutral, and comprehensive manner. I work mostly on articles relating to classical music, but also enjoy copyediting, reviewing, and various other odds and ends. My work as Music Director of Arlington Street Church and Juventas New Music keeps me quite busy so I am often absent from Wikipedia for large periods of time. These are some articles I either wrote, rewrote, or am currently striving to improve.
