My name is Fuller Ming and I don't claim to be a Wikipedia wizard, but I do occasionally attempt to create or update an article. The idea of the entire world contributing to the knowledge base of mankind is fascinating. I generally don't have a lot of extra time, but I hope to contribute every once in a while.

I have very broad interest and my interest, and my background will influence the type of articles I write or edit; I have worked at the University of Maryland for over 35 years, counting my student employment. I have also worked at Howard University. At both institutions I work with IT that deal with student services such as ID cards, meal plans, and point-of-sale systems. Other areas of interest include religion, Christian theology, theology in general, Christian Apologetics, philosophy, general science, space, science fiction, information systems, business, church health, family, leadership, world views, youth/support for young people, and perspectives on complex issues. I have a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science, a Masters of Science in Information Systems Management, a MS in Biblical Studies and as of the 2020, I began taking PhD classes (I am currently a PhD Candidate). I'm married with two children, and live in a major metropolitan area. I am a Black American, the descendant of American slaves, and a Christian with a generally conservative belief system, but I despise typical conservative religious views that attempt to make any nation into some kind of Theocracy – if God is God, and Jesus is the Christ, then His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36).
