Hi. I've contributed to Wikipedia since April 6, 2004. My major interests include the local culture of Toronto and Canadian culture; Canadians and the history of Canada, especially Canadian military history. I'd like to see my birth country's military history as comprehensively documented, organized, and well-linked on Wikipedia as the US and British military history articles.

If you're curious, please see my personal websiteatDeepSky which includes professional and creative writing, much of it available under a Creative Commons license. And please feel free to send a message or an email anytime. Cheers!
