Hello, wiki world. I am a graduate of the print journalism program at Cal State Long Beach (Go Beach!). My area of special study was early Christian history. My reasons for joining Wikipedia were simple: I am a trove of wide-ranging trivial information, I love to write and edit, and I love to learn. Plus, I have a lot of free time on my hands right now. So pop on in if you want to talk about journalism, history, opera, literature, politics, or the effects of Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy on early Christianity in the Greco-Roman/Judaic matrix of the Mediterranean world of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Or whatever.
