I am a human male "expert", something of a want-to-be Renaissance man; my interests are numerous and eclectic. Formally, I have a Ph.D. in bioorganic chemistry. Informally, I have studied/tinkered in multiple (mostly, "dead") languages and (mostly, modern) philosophies. I have created worlds with conlangs, histories, and epic poems. I have an extremely thorough understanding of English grammar and am somewhat obsessed with correct typography. Outside of intellectual endeavors, I love music (Who doesn't?) and outdoor activities &mdash; especially backpacking. I am currently employed in a chemical/biomolecular engineering lab as a programmer, working on modeling carbohydrates.

As far as D&D, I DM a Forgotten Realms campaign, using 3.5 edition with six of my coworkers about twice a month. We've been playing for two years now. The tale began in Calimshan, and the players have been to Tethyr and Chult, as a miscellany of happenings have led them to a mysterious island in pursuit of an enigmatic individual known as Samber. The first part of the massive campaign has ended with Samber exiling them to the Great Glacier. (You can read about their adventures here: Imago Deorum) Since the tale has thus far taken place in the Lands of Intrigue and the Chultan Peninsula, most of my new articles and edits will (for now) regard the individuals and places of those southern lands, but articles related to the Great Glacier will be coming soon.

I have also played the Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights. I have started Pool of Radiance on an NES emulator.

As far as my skill as a Wikipedian, I am probably above average but by no means an expert! Feel free to remind (or inform) me if needed of FR Wiki policies, which I do my best to follow, and I'll respond in kind.
