[edit] Re natura usoris

A medievalist by nature, I am a graduate student in historical Germanic linguistics, having also studied the literatures of medieval Spain and England (all at a brickiversity). I am at Wikiversity because of its commitment to the original structure and goals of the medieval university, something that has become quite rare in the more financially-oriented universities of our time.

I have been a member of the Wikiversity community since July 30th, 2007.

For the time being, I will be active on Wikiversity about once per week.

[edit] A few odd facts
  • I have been married for three years
  • I was born in California
  • I have no children
  • I enjoy Mexican food
  • I find winter nights south of 42º N too short
  • I love hiking
  • I have a secret penchant for Dungeons & Dragons (but let's just keep that between us).
