From Tolkien Gateway
(Hmmmm experimenting with my userbox and weird things happened.)
(I'm putting this in on the idea that "Gatekeeper" just means "a person who edits Tolkien Gateway." If it's some kind of title above the average user, I'll change this.)

Early Life

I've been a reader and fan of the Middle-earth Legendarium for the past 21 years or so. I started with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, worked my way through The Silmarillion a few years later, and got my hands on Unfinished Tales after that.

Fandom and Research

I tried my hand at writing a little Middle-earth inspired poetry and fanfiction, but found myself limited in my knowledge of what was available. While searching for new sources to increase my knowledge base, I discovered The Road Goes Ever On, A Song Cycle. This ended up becoming the topic of my doctoral thesis lecture recital and research document (read: dissertation), which was completed and defended as of December 2016.

I'm a founding member of the only smial of The Tolkien Society in Texas, located in Nacogdoches.

I'd like to contribute what I can to this wiki, hopefully improve its content, and learn more about the Legendarium. I've got little experience working on wikis, but I'm happy to learn.
