I joined this wiki in 2007 and was around intermittently for most years since. I once served on the governing council, when no one else would, in hopes of keeping the project alive. When Citizendium teetered again in mid 2020, I returned after a long hiatus and took ownership of the Citizendium domain to help the project continue, partly in honor of the past great efforts by Larry, Anthony, Milt, Norman, Ro and others, and the continuing efforts of John S. and the current technical staff. The sense of community possible here is especially valuable during the COVID-19 shutdowns.

My interests in this wiki are more personal than professional, and wide ranging. They include traditional music, languages, science fiction, literature, history, plants and flowers.

In August 2020, I've been working on proposed changes to Citizendium policy.
