Just a guy that likes to read new and obscure things and help out :)
I'm currently researching: the history of bird watching and bird feeding.
Current Wikipedia project: Carrol L. Henderson biography
I'm into gossip, useless information, and anything that makes me wonder about our built environment. I was really into steam radiators for a while.
I've done archival research, and dig extensively into the Wayback Machine to find good sources from our digital past.
Writer, historian, and wannabe journalist.
Some of the things I'm working on

I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so please let me know on my talk page if I make any mistakes that need fixing!
