I have been an editor of English Wikipedia since March 2004, and an administrator since December 2004 (apart from a short break). I am also somewhat active on the Māori Wikipedia, where I am an administrator and a bureaucrat. My primary interest on Wikipedia is New Zealand-related articles.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Auckland. This entitles me to nod wisely when more qualified editors make changes to science-related articles.
I usually share an IP address with User:Golden Aquilegia.
