(formerly Gopher backer) I've been creating or updating articles on weather, especially Minnesota, it's climate and its historical weather events. I also will update articles on Minnesota Golden Gophers sports topics from time to time. I enjoy adding structure to articles that have good information but are poorly laid out, and for some reason I enjoy taking on tedious tasks.

I've been editing Wikipedia for about two years now and have about 7200 edits as of June, 2008 ([1]). Right now I'm trying to standardize the structure of about 300 severe weather articles.

[edit] Articles of particular interest

• TCF Bank Stadium: 2009 can't come soon enough!
• Comfrey - St. Peter Tornado Outbreak: A 15 minute stop at a restaurant may have kept this outbreak from blowing a barn onto my car.
• Storm of the Century (1993) - Easiest the craziest weather event I've ever experienced.
• Halloween Blizzard - The largest snowstorm I can remember.
• Natural disasters in Minnesota: This page leads to a lot of what I've been working on.
• Mid-June 1992 Tornado Outbreak - My first article
