About Me
I am a 21 year-old student at the University of Louisville working towards my masters degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I used to be a tennis instructor, but now I work in a national healthcare corporation's information systems department, usually in a laboratory that's freezing cold :( I'm a huge fan of all forms of electronic music, and if I'm at my computer I will usually be listening to one of the stations at DI.fm.

Gaming
Guild Wars is my second "MMORPG" (I know, it's not really considered an MMO, sue me)...I've been playing for over a year now. Star Wars Galaxies was my first, which I played for about two years until they ruined the game. For about 4 years prior to my MMO gaming days, I had been competing in FPS gaming competitions with clan kom at a semi-pro to pro level. In Guild Wars I'm currently a member of Error Seven Operators [Call]. We've been hanging around the top 150 on the ladder lately. I'm on a Tombs kick right now...so close to rank 6 I can taste it :P My gaming is PvP-oriented--I'm intending to get one character from each profession in PvE to a point where I consider it PvP-ready. I'm far from done. I mainly GvG and HA, and I hate the smaller (lesser) forms of PvP in RA and TA. I'll go months at a time without doing any. Alliance Battles I rarely do unless I go with a group of friends. It's amazing how a good group of 4 can take on 8+ in there and come out on top though :) I'm essentially UAX, with only a handful of PvP-useless skills left to unlock. I've earned over 700k Balthazar faction on my account. My friends and I have tried a lot of whacky builds in GvG in our day, including breaking into the top 200 with 3-4 henchmen (before heroes) late in some seasons. I prefer to play midline in PvP, and love Mesmer. If your guild needs a guest, look me up ;)

On the wiki
On Guildwiki most of my edits are minor changes. I do a lot of updating on pages that don't conform to the current style and formatting. I also create new pages for items that don't exist as needed. I probably have more than half of the weapons pages on my watchlist, and patrol them pretty regularly. I generally try to make my edits conflict-free...but then, most of the standards here are ones I like and see no need to change. So it should be no surprise that I try to avoid build pages entirely. I believe there's a lot more to making builds work than just the skill/attribute/equipment setup. Although I'm more of a PvPer, it seems like there's more PvErs here that will edit most good PvP builds to suckiness. Just my observation :)

Useful Stuff
Style and formatting - Note to self: I need to start checking this more often instead of just adding salvage results to outdated infobox templates. Missing pages - Have you seen these missing pages? Editing Guide - For new users to learn to edit wikicode and a good reference for the rest of us ;) Stubs - Stuff in need of expansion. Cleanup - The Guildwiki version of washing dishes.
