I am a student of the universe, a seeker of knowledge, a lover of learning.

In the real world, I am a resident physician, which leaves me with little time to edit Wikipedia.

I began editing in late November, 2004 (under my briefly used account, User:Knowledgeseeker). On March 15, 2005, I became an administrator. To check up on what I've been doing with my administrative powers, see my log (note that rollbacks will appear under my contributions like my other edits). I take pride in my work and take care to follow Wikipedia policy. If you feel I have misused my adminstrative powers in some way, I would very much appreciate if you let me know.
