	About Me
My name is Zach Dennison. I am 17 years old, and I'm a junior in high school. I joined Wikipedia on May 12, 2005, when I was only a freshman. My 2 biggest hobbies are biking and using computers. During the school year, I run indoor and outdoor track. During my sophomore year of school, I got high honors every quarter. My favorite class was computer repair (in case you couldn't tell, I am a geek). The first computers I ever got were old computers, running Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS, which gave me a lot of general knowledge on computers. That also gave me a reason to learn to program batch files. From there, I learned HTML and some PHP. On Wikipedia, I try to help when I can at the technical village pump. I also occasionally help out and ask questions at the computing reference desk.
I am always available for chat. Please don't be afraid to ask me anything on my talk page.

	News
October 31 - Both projects are now finished! The quarter ends of Friday, so I can breathe a little easier. October 16 - I will be less active for a while because I have 2 projects for school due soon. Once I finish them, I will be more active again. October 13 - I recently joined Esperanza. I hope to get more involved really soon.
