Csernica is taking a long wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia some time later.

Welcome to my user page! If you want to contact me, feel free to post to my talk page or to send me email.

Professionally I am a software engineer, having graduated in 1985 from Stevens Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer science. I moved to California shortly after I graduated and have worked for the same Silicon Valley company ever since, and currently reside in the Santa Cruz Mountains. But I grew up in New Jersey and frankly still feel at times as if I live in a foreign country.

However, I make most of my edits to articles on religion, primarily those related to Eastern Orthodoxy. I am a subdeacon of The Orthodox Church in America in the Diocese of the West under the omophorion of Bishop Benjamin of San Francisco. I don't confine my edits to Orthodox topics though, and also contribute to historical articles or those on any other subject in which I have taken an interest over the years. I pretty much never edit articles related to my professional work.

I've started a few articles here on Wikipedia (I suppose my favorite is John of Shanghai and San Francisco, on the saint who saved the life of my older son) but there are a few others as well as some I have edited heavily and where the present content is largely mine, but I'm not particularly interested in maintaining a brag list here. I am insufficiently energetic to have ever taken the trouble to drag an article to featured article status, and I doubt I ever will.

  In the Wikipedia tradition, I award you "The Saints' Barnstar"; for your many contributions to articles on Eastern Christianity, and especially your efforts to raise St. Gregory the Theologian to GA status. -- Majoreditor 00:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
