Personal
I am an acute care nurse practitioner, and worked in trauma medicine. I am no longer working, but do volunteer work with the homeless. I spend a lot of my free time on genealogy.

The Wiki
I am a Team Lead with the Wiki Support Team. I teach the New User Training Classes on Thursdays at 12 p.m. (MST) I am involved in the Wiki Trainer Program, and if you are from a FHC and are in need of help, please leave me a message on my talk page and I will be glad to work with you.

The Wiki belongs to the community, and we are always looking for volunteers to participate in various ways. Check out our Volunteer page to see ways you can get involved.

Genealogical Affiliations
I am actively involved with USGenWeb on a state and national level. I am a County Coordinator for multiple counties in Texas, Arkansas, Florida, North Dakota and my hometown of Davidson County (Nashville) TN. I have recently been helping facilitate the adoption of state and county Wiki pages by USGenWeb state groups, and in doing so have adopted county pages in several states. I am also the Moderator for Tennessee.

I would really like the pages I adopt to remain a collaborative effort, so please jump in and share any information you may have.

Visit my site, Hidden Ancestors, the portal to my USGenWeb activities

Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
