Basic info
This user is Roman Catholic.

con This user is socially conservative and fiscally libertarian.

I enjoy categorizing, disambiguating, and formating band and album articles. I also like to relocate and clean up certain category placements. I also try to fix spelling, grammar, diction, and page style but don't delve too deep into actually writing articles themselves. A pet peeve of mine is finding redlinks in See also sections; I will remove them instantly and with no remorse.

Non-wiki-related hobbies and interests I have include volleyball, working out, hanging out with Annie, web development, church history, Christian theology, and listening to and acquiring music.

I'm a web developer for the Federal Aviation Administration. On the side, I maintain a handful of sites. I believe that Cascading Style Sheets are the best thing to come along since sliced bread.
