Being a self-proclaimed information addict, I’ve found the wikipedia to be my fix. I began more detailed editing and reviewing of articles in 2004/2005, especially ones for which I have first-hand experience with, and I've been hooked ever since. I don’t pretend to know it all around here, quite the contrary in fact. I’m growing and learning something new daily around here, and it just serves to further fuel my wikiaddiction.
I live in California and I’m a huge aviation buff, personally & professionally. Being so heavily addicted to the information contained in the Wikipedia, I’ve found that a great deal of the knowledge I have about the airports in California are lacking in the representing Wikipedia articles. In addition to other ancillary projects I may involve myself in here, my primary interest is increasing the quality and depth of the articles to which I am most accustomed to and have the most personal experience with. That said, as before, I’m always learning and expect to find new interests everyday. Perhaps the next time I amend this “about me” page, I’ll have found a new project to lend my time to.
I'm a big family guy, and I love each and every one of them to the depths of my being. I am a non-denominational Christian--I believe in the God of the Holy Bible. I believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. I believe in the scriptures of the Old & New Testament as being verbally inspired by God and inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood. If you are interested in the detail of my Christian beliefs, please read below into the "I believe in Jesus Christ" section of this about me page.
NOTE: Please edit this page! My knowledge of HTML is limited, and I've had to borrow a ton of experience to make even this layout work. If you can let me know how you've edited this page in my talk page, I'll be able to learn and improve my wiki skills. Specifically, I'd like to clean up the awards area below and move my userboxes to the right of this page without screwing up the current layout. Your help is appreciated!

"I Believe in The Lord Jesus Christ."
Specifically, I believe:
The scriptures of the Old & New Testament as being verbally inspired by God and inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority.
In one God eternally existing in one essence, yet co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
That Jesus Christ was begotten by God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary.
In the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. He is the life of the believer and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the Gospel.
That mankind was created in the image of God, sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that human beings are born with a sinful nature.
That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood.
In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven and His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for us.
In the blessed hope, which is the personal, visible and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
That all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost in hell and the fellowship of the saved in heaven.
In the existence of a personal devil, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men and that he and all his angels and all who do not receive Christ as their personal Savior will eternally perish in the lake of fire.
In the Church, whose mission it is to preach the Scriptures to all the world, all of its endeavors being guided by multiple leadership and supported by the wise stewardship of God’s people.
That the ordinances of the Church, given by the Lord, are Baptism and the Lord’s Table (Communion).
