Greetings! My name, as you may have guessed, is Michael Frain. I am a Wikipedia transplant - after one too many frustrations with WP, I stumbled upon Citizendium and upon perusal, found it to be much more informative and useful as a resource of information.

My experience goes something like this: I hold my high school degree from Benet Academy (Lisle, IL) and two bachelor's degrees from Clarke College (Dubuque, IA). My degrees are in music (piano performance) and philosophy. Currently I reside in the Chicago area, working as a professional concert pianist, music director (mainly for small ensembles and musical theatre) and part-time high school sports official. My sports of note are volleyball, baseball, and water polo. I also am familiar with soccer, football, and basketball, though I do not officiate those sports actively at this time.

While the bulk of my editing and authoring will be generally confined to my areas of expertise, I also enjoy a bit of research and development and therefore may occasionally branch out into topics with which I am only slightly less familiar - for example, while I do not hold a degree in it, I enjoy dabbling in theoretical physics. I am well read on the topic and understand many of the concepts, and as such may lend my (albeit limited) knowledge from time to time.
