I am a Philadelphia based dad, firefighter, paramedic, graphic artist, scouter, and former labor leader. I'm originally form Bad Cannstatt, Germany, but have lived in the US since I was a very tiny person.
Some of my loves in life are history, maps, sci-fi and travel. Being a Wiki contributor helps to satisfy my creative urges. I also maintain some websites and social media accounts for organizations I volunteer for.
My number one intrest on Wikipedia is the fire service. In the past I have done work at Fireman's Hall Museum in Philly (and should probably create a page for that place).
