Biography
I was born in Macon , Georgia , on November 29 , 1978 . I grew up there and attended the now-defunct Gilead Christian Academy from kindergarten through 12th grade. After graduating on May 31 , 1996 , I went to Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville , Tennessee . I graduated on May 6 , 2000 , with a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree and a triple major in Business Administration , Accounting , and Computer Information Systems . I spent just over three years working as a computer programmer at Compco, a small telecommunications company in Brentwood, Tennessee , before deciding to go back for a Master's degree in the fall of 2003 . I attended Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee , and I received a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Industrial/Organizational Psychology on August 14 , 2005 . Just before graduating, I started a job as a data analyst for the consulting services division of Quorum Health Resources , a health care management company headquartered in Brentwood. After four years, I left QHR to work as a research analyst at the patient experience division of HealthStream . After nearly nine years with the company, my division was acquired by Press Ganey Associates , where I am now employed. I currently live in Nashville.
Interests My main hobby is swing dancing , which I do quite often. My primary interest is Lindy Hop , although I also do quite a bit of Balboa , East Coast Swing , Blues , Charleston , and Collegiate Shag . I received training from instructors all over the country, including Frankie Manning . More recently, I have taken up Brazilian Zouk as my primary dance style. I am familiar with several other types of dances including some ballroom dancing , Bachata , Salsa , and Argentine tango , but I do not do them nearly as often.
Video games used to be another major interest of mine, although that has lessened due to a lack of time. My preferred types of games are role-playing games , adventure games , and strategy games , although I tend to enjoy games in all categories. My favorite game franchises are Final Fantasy , Myst , The Legend of Zelda , Metroid , Assassin's Creed , BioShock , and all of the Blizzard Entertainment games.
I have a strong interest in logic and philosophy , and I enjoy learning about sciences of all kinds. I consider myself a skeptic and an atheist , and I prefer to base my core beliefs on scientific evidence . In spite of this, I like studying various aspects of Christian theology and church history , particularly Arminianism , partly because of my previous involvement in the Independent Baptist church and the Church of the Nazarene .
Wikipedia role I joined Wikipedia on June 6 , 2005 , although I had been reading it for months before then. I will most likely be involved in editing articles related to the material listed above. I think about things in a highly organized manner and tend to be pretty good in making information flow logically. I am very focused on making things consistent and try to apply the same formatting across articles. In addition, I am quite detailed when it comes to grammar and formatting, so I will also be correcting any such errors that I see.
I started out working on reorganizing the list of colleges and universities in the United States . I abandoned this project after other editors took it into a different (and better) direction. My involvement in Wikipedia has lessened, and I rarely edit anymore. However, I am somewhat involved in the Psychology Wikiproject , the Dance Wikiproject , and the Church of the Nazarene WikiProject .
