I was born in Mobile, Alabama and lived my entire life (so far) in various suburban and rural areas east of Mobile in Baldwin County. I attended Loxley Elementary School, Loxley Junior High and Robertsdale High School, graduating in 1988 with an Advanced Diploma. I attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile, and graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentrations in graphic design and marketing. After a year working as a restaurant manager, I was hired by the Mobile Press-Register newspaper as a graphic designer. In 1995 I married Darla R. Lee of Semmes, Alabama. I spent twenty years with the Press-Register designing newspaper and direct mailadvertising and acting as a liaison between technical support, software vendors and our in-house design staff. During that time, I also freelanced for a range of clients, including furniture stores, churches and an adult film distribution company. When Advance Publications reorganized their Alabama publishing arm as Alabama Media Group in 2012, I was asked to stay on as a marketing and web advertising designer. In 2013, I left to become a full time stay-at-home parent to my son, who was born in August of that year.
As of 3 March, 2020 I’ve been a Wikipedia editor for 15 years.
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
If you have created an account, you might notice little [edit] links on some pages. An [edit] link is shown for every heading on a page. Sometimes you will see two edit links per heading ([edit|edit source]). In that case, the [edit] link will launch the VisualEditor, a WYSIWYG editor, and the [edit source] link will launch a text based editor. You can create a level 2 heading by typing ==Headline==, a level 3 heading by typing ===Headline===, and so on, all the way up to level 5. Level 1 headings are reserved for system use only. The [edit] link lets you edit only the text that is below this heading and above the next one. This is especially useful for long talk (discussion) pages. If you do not like the [edit] links, you can turn them off in your user Preferences by disabling the VisualEditor. If you use a modern web browser, you also can enable the option Enable section editing by right clicking on section titles instead of, or in addition to, Enable section editing via [edit] links.
If you want to create a new section at the bottom of a talk page, click the New Section link in the navigation links under the heading This Page. Bonus tip: In your user Preferences under Editing you can enable section [edit] links for the lead section of articles too. Be sure to save your changes.
