User:Patrick David MacGuire
I am a resident of Berryville, Clark County, Virginia, USA. I have advanced degrees from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Virginia.
I am currently employed in McLean, Virginia by a contractor for the Defense Adaptive Red Team, which is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. We help to identify new military concepts and technologies, provide research and support for war-games and experiments that simulate a range of surrogate adversaries including states and terrorist groups. I am an experienced beta tester of new software and hardware. I have been a beta tester for Microsoft since the release of Windows 3.11. I am also a charter member and longtime creator of high-quality content for the Second Life virtual community, where I am a liason and leader of the oldest themed community. My interests include writing, music, painting, sculpture, architecture and history.

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun!
