Welcome to my Wikipedia home page!

My main interest in working on the Wikipedia is to add brief biographies of historical figures who were notable in their time, but are obscure today. The Web often lacks complete and reliable information about these people, and I hope to help students and casual researchers by making such information freely and easily available. My interests include history, politics, economics, business, and American football.

I have two bachelor's degrees from Ohio State University, one in economics (1993) and one in history (1998), and a master's degree in library science (2000) from the University of Texas at Austin. I am a native of Benicia, California and currently live in Portland, Oregon.
