Why did you choose to moderate/blog?

I chose to blog because there are certain things I want to share with the community that I find interesting. I also like to share my viewpoints and see what others have to say. Even if only one person reads my blog and enjoys it, then I have done my job. The most important thing to remember when blogging is to blog about what YOU want, not what will get the most views. I think this mindset will be apparent if you see the views on any of my entries.

Moderating was important to me because CR4 is one of the only social sites I've seen that truly cares about preserving the integrity of the community. Other sites just let users post garbage that adds no value to the site. I wanted to contribute to this initiative so that our users can enjoy a really great place to learn and share

Blogging topics: How do you choose?

As mentioned before, the topic only has to meet two criteria. It has to be interesting to me and I have to feel it is worth sharing. Generally, I like to stick to computer and video game related topics.

Favorite part about CR4?

It has to be the unique community. CR4 is set apart from the rest because of the knowledge of the user base. It is impossible not to learn something any time you visit CR4. This cannot be said for the majority of similar sites on the web.

Motto/Advice you live by?

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies are anything involving sports - from following to playing. And that is all sports. I just have a fascination and love for competition. I am also a video game enthusiast from PC to PS3. I love video games because they are a great source of entertainment and I have inherent gaming ability.

Favorite website & why?

ESPN.com. After I watch SportsCenter at least two times in the morning I can read entries from all of my favorite analysts throughout the day as well as keep up on current scores. Part of me wishes CR4 would implement a "sports" section. Show the support on this entry and hopefully we can make it happen.

What would you say is the most interesting thing about you?

The most interesting thing I would say are just my eclectic interests.

One word that best describes you?

Driven
