My name is Grant Rose. I'm a Wikipedian from Virginia, U.S.A. I'm currently attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, though I'm originally from Crozet. I mainly do cleanup and minor additions to existing articles, but I'm gradually increasing my level of contribution.
If I have any fields of "expertise", they are probably computer science (which is my major in college) and computer and video games (the playing and designing of which are two of my greatest passions).
I'm also an avid fan heavy metal (mostly English and Nordic bands — I avoid most contemporary American metal besides southern / stoner metal) and rock of the late 1960s and early 1970s. I also compose metal music (via .midi software) as a hobby, and hope to perform someday.
I have a habit of compiling tons of statistics on things that interest me, so you may find this reflected on my home page. I'm currently keeping a list of weekly favorite Wikipedia articles, which you may find below if you're looking for some fun articles to read.

[edit] To Do List
- Quorthon — there is a wealth of interviews from him on the Internet
- Umbra & Penumbra — need to take some photographs to better illustrate this
- Solar Jetman — this game is simply amazing, and needs better representation on Wikipedia
- Consumer electronics — this page could be vastly expanded, as this is one of the most distinguishing aspects of modern lifestyle
- Blackfoot (band)
- Clutch (album) — this could be fleshed out with stuff from the band page (also note the origin of the title "7 Jam" — Aoxomoxoa)
- M.I.A.: Missing in Action — 1998 computer game
- Fire bird (mythology) — currently a disambiguation page, but should be reworked into a page which addresses similarities between the various mythological firebirds
