I am a systems, security and network analyst and administrator with ~30 years of professional industry experience: in 2009 I made my entry into the world of video game development, first as a texture artist and later as a lead developer. I also hold numerous certifications including a Certified Ethical Hacker and CISSP.

In addition, I am a formerly state and federally licensed falconer with a passion for biology and ecology, also including salt-water reef keeping. Other hobbies / interests include music (I play several instruments, including piano, trombone and drums); movies; philosophy, politics and their correlations; psychology both human and animal; martial arts; military and scientific history; reading and writing focusing primarily on commentary, opinion, news and science-fiction.

The majority of my contributions to Wikipedia center around basic article cleanup, grammar / spelling / punctuation, and fact checking. Oh, and a continual, aggressive, and with-prejudice search for vandals.

I strongly believe in the importance of notability and relevance when it comes to adding articles, but that could just be me.

My favorite page on Wikipedia is the New Pages section.
