Introduction
I'm an independent writer and researcher living in Mountain View, California. I earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Excelsior College. My earlier undergraduate work focused on English Literature, Philosophy and Cognitive Science at NC State University. I attended San Jose State University where I studied Geography and History at the graduate level. I have training and work experience in geospatial technologies and continue to enjoy creating maps for various projects using open source GIS tools. I have over 15 years of experience as a web developer. I am researching and writing a book about the intersection of embodiment and epistemology when not working on a botanically-related app. I have a blog at ideaspeak.us and paint watercolors to relax.
I have been awarded two "barnstars" for my contributions to Wikipedia. I am the primary contributor to the article on "Encyclopedic knowledge" and a major contributor to the article on "Open educational resources." I find the online culture at Wikipedia to be toxic. I hope to contribute original maps and articles relating postcolonial studies and postmodernism to CZ. I also want to help fill in the gaps.
I wish to continue to support Citizendium financially, and I am working to implement a safe, secure way for donations by check in addition to using PayPal. I want to see CZ grow and thrive because I think its article cluster schema is one of the most useful and scholarly available.
June 2014 Election
I am excited to have been given a chance to serve a one-year term on the Citizendium Council as an Author Representative. It was eye-opening, however, to discover just how few of us actually participated in this election. We have work to do.
During the current term, I intend to work to increase participation on CZ and to encourage more contributors to vote next year. I also want new users to feel welcome to contact me directly with any questions about writing articles. I make no claim to having all the answers, only to having the right experience to find them for you.
>> I now have a page dedicated to my work in this capacity. You should still find my 2014 Election Statement here.
