HI! I'M KEVIN MCCOY. I'm from Grand Rapids, Minnesota and work as a touring stagehand, working on sound, video, and lighting for Sesame Street Live. My web site is at http://www.kevin-mccoy.com and includes pictures from my travels with Sesame Street Live, Dragon Tales Live, and Bear in the Big Blue House Live.
I've been around Wikipedia since June of 2004, and I've been an administrator since August 2, 2005. Joining the project was an obvious move in my continuing slide into the use of open-source/content stuff. My first edit was a minor clarification on USA PATRIOT Act. While I've never really much enjoyed writing, I tend to notice typos and the like quite frequently. So I did a bit of copyediting on Minnesota's page. My first non-minor edit was on KVLY-TV mast and I did a revamp of the page on sound. I've since done some other reworkings of articles, and a bunch of typos and vandalism watch. I spent a few days compiling a list of all the vandalism done by a person (or people working together) at User:Kmccoy/Delfino in order to ensure we reverted all the spam.
I've also uploaded a few pictures, both here and to the commons, where I'm also Commons:User:Kmccoy. One of my pictures has been used in a number of articles and a few templates, and was even nominated as a featured picture candidate; I took Image:Uscapitolindaylight.jpg while visiting Washington in 2004.
The nature of my job is that I travel all the time. When on tour, I travel from hotel to hotel, staying in a city for between three and seven days (occasionally longer for large cities such as New York City.) My usual schedule is to leave home for tour in summer, travel until December, take a few weeks off with the family, then return in early January to tour and travel until spring. It's a job which I enjoy a great deal and the travel never gets old. Unfortunately, it means that I sometimes don't have as much time as I'd like to edit on wikipedia. My contributions grow in spurts, rather than a steady stream every day.
I borrowed the idea of a display of flags for places visited from Tony the Marine. Thanks. :)
