I am a proud Texan from the very small town of Pampa, in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. After high school, I spent about 10 years in the Dallas area, mostly in Denton. Then I moved to Japan for almost 8 years, living for a year in Tottori and several more in Hamamatsu, before moving to bustling São Paulo, Brazil for three years and then nearby Sorocaba for a year and a half, working as a translator. I currently reside in Austin.

I am an administrator here and on the Portuguese version of Wikivoyage. I mostly do janitorial work, participate in policy discussions, and take a big interest in the organization of the guide. I have made a few maps, spearheaded the creation/implementation of routebox navigation and the maintenance panel, and I have a few other ideas floating about in my head as well. I am a former long-time contributor and administrator of Wikitravel in its English, Spanish, and Portuguese versions.
