I'm currently working as an EFL instructor in South Korea with plans to return to my home country--the USA--and attend graduate school. One of my hobbies and favorite pastimes is video games; as it stands, most of my edits on Citizendium will deal with games.

I'm highly interested in promoting Citizendium's goal: to create a kinder, gentler (and better written) Wikipedia. I also appreciate Citizendium's guidelines for article organization and presentation. Wikipedia articles generally do not flow well: a Wikipedia article's sections can be arranged arbitrarily with no change in the article's readability. If Citizendium articles are supposed to flow like well-written essays, it's a challenge I look forward to.

Articles I've started:

• God Hand [r]: A video game developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom in 2006 for the Sony PlayStation 2. ^[e]
• Street Fighter (video game) [r]: a series of popular video games developed by a Japanese video game company called Capcom. ^[e]
