I'm a Texan physical chemist and educator with an amateur interest in history and geography. I've mostly worked on creating and improving content relating to mathematics and the sciences, European history, world geography, and Texas and Austin landmarks and institutions; I've also at times been pretty involved in the Good Article and Featured and Good Topic processes. At the moment, I'm mostly inactive; life has gotten too busy.

Featured and good topic reviewer's award
Bryan, reviewers over at FGTC are always irregular and scarce. I'm much appreciative of your regular reviews, and consistent evaluation against the criteria (the latter of which is especially uncommon!). Best Aza24 (talk) 01:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
I have not given you thanks for your help with Featured Topics. You have been a great help for the project and are much appreciated. GamerPro64 19:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
This is in appreciation of the work you did bringing Panzer Dragoon Orta to GA. I admit I left both that and Zwei in a bit of a state after I got burned (and needed to reevaluate my article writing), but seeing you take on the rest of the series is heartening. Fingers crossed that the others also pass. ProtoDrake (talk) 12:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
