My name is Kevyn Jacobs. I am 58 years old, and I live in a motorhome in the Western United States. I am a Digital nomad, and migrate my home with the seasons. I usually winter in Arizona, and summer in Cascadia.

I am an alumni of Western Washington University with a B.A. in General Studies, with an emphasis on Technical Communication, New Media Management, Editing, Journalism, Layout and Graphic Design, and International Studies. I also studied at Kansas State University, the University of Louisville - Ft. Knox, Elizabethtown Community College, Augusta State University, and Semester at Sea Fall '97 voyage. I graduated from Ft. Knox High School in 1986, and also attended 2 years at Silver Valley High in California.

Ethnically, I am a Volga German (Wolgadeutsche), born in Kansas. My hometown is Manhattan. My maternal line is a mélange of German, Marian French, Anglo-Saxon, Scandanavian, Black Irish and Scottish. I am >3% Neanderthal. Spiritually, I am an Agnostic Atheist. Politically, I prefer the Green party.

I am a native speaker of English, have a working knowledge of German (having spent a good part of my childhood in NĂŒrnberg), and have studied Spanish and French at university. I'm a self-confessed Canadiophile.

I find Wikipedia addicting, and I love the fact that it's free, open-source and user-run. It has become a constant tool in my life, and I am always improving it as I explore. I constantly copy edit, creating redirects from misspellings I discover. I have a personal rule: If I come across a RedLink, I have to start the article off, even if just a stub.

Editing

Even though I am a good writer, I enjoy editing more than writing. Consequently, most of the work I do on Wikipedia is general-purpose editing -- copy editing, formatting, clarifying, wikifying, fixing links, creating redirects, etc.

I have done an immense amount of work on disambiguation pages in my time here. I have a knack for organizing information, and I put this skill to use in working on disambiguation pages. (Other people play solitaire on their computers; I go through pages, checking and fixing links. It's a hobby.)

Articles that I have written, or at least started

Plus too many disambig and redirect pages to count.

Chronicling the Universe

"I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff, we are the Universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out." -Delenn, Babylon 5 Episode A Distant Star
