Thanks for stopping by my little corner of Wikipedia on Monday, September 16, 2024 at 17:37. (UTC)
I'm a 35-year-old advertising designer, working for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette in the downtown area of Little Rock, Arkansas. I live across town in Pleasant Valley. Most of my work is for the classified advertising section of the newspaper, and I have worked here for over six years.
I'm also a lifelong Arkansan, originally from Romance, a small community in White County. The local post office back home is particularly popular for its Valentine's Day postmarks, though the postmarks are also greatly appreciated by prospective brides on wedding invitations. KARK-TV, the local NBC television affiliate in Little Rock, broadcast a portion of its Valentine's morning news program from Romance in 2007.
Along with designing, I try to write when I can, including making contributions here at Wikipedia. Though I've been a registered contributor since September 2004, the largest part of my activity in this edition is in minor edits for grammar, spelling correction, and general style. When possible, I try to add original content related to the topics I know best. The topics I find greatest interest in are culture in the Southern United States, specifically that of Arkansas; business histories, with particular focus on retail; food and cooking in general; television; and newspapers.
In late December 2006, I founded WikiProjects for Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
