Hi. I'm originally from Nebraska -- I grew up in Norfolk, and also lived in Grand Island and Omaha. I now live in Kennesaw, and am a graduate of Kennesaw State University, with a degree in Economics.

As a Nebraska native, I'm a fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. I'm also a fan of the Kennesaw State Owls basketball team. In the NFL, I follow the Seattle Seahawks.

[edit] To Do / Current Projects

• A little vandalism policing from time to time...
• Surfing through Random articles to catch things that might have slipped through the cracks and tagging, fixing, or recommending them for deletion.

[edit] Okay, I Had to Take the Test

Thanks, Rosa for having me check out this IQ Test.

I wonder if it's anywhere close to valid. Meaning, of course, does IQ mean anything anyway, and is the Tickle version representative of a regular ol' paper and pen test. Apparently, I'm a visionary philosopher. Whatever that means. Well, according to the site, it means...

Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.

You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.

[edit] Trivial Pursuit

• I placed third nationally in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (Gold Circle Award) collegiate journalism awards for a sports column I wrote while attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
• I was a team member of the state championship One act play (1987) and Oral Interpretation of Drama (1989) teams at Norfolk Catholic High School.
• I connected through Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, terminal 2E, a day before that terminal collapsed.
• I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
• I've testified in front of a grand jury.

[edit] Books I'm reading

I can rarely read one book at a time. Right now, I'm tackling Atlas Shrugged and A Tale of Two Cities, among others. I just finished (with my sons) The Giver, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Call of the Wild.
