I'm an occassional contributor to Wikipedia; you can more often find me at Memory Alpha, a Star Trek wiki (view my profile there). I monitor some Trek articles here on Wikipedia, but generally feel that Memory Alpha is a superior and much more accurate source of Star Trek information.

My main interests here involve the city of Chicago, Illinois, particularly its elevated train (the 'L') system.

I also have an interest in firefighting and fire safety. My username is partially based on this interest.

Professionally, I am a molecular biologist with interests in other areas of the biological sciences including microbiology and microbial ecology.
