Revision as of 14:51, 8 December 2009
I'm Jeff. I'm a mechanical engineer in my 30s working in aerospace in Hsv, AL, USA. Growing up I was more interested in cars and sports. I started getting into aircraft since entering the aerospace industry after college. I joined Wikipedia in April 2006. I spend my time on aircraft and related articles (WP:Aviation, WP:Military history, aviation); some military ground vehicles, a few ships, a few sports, some sci-fi, and some music articles. I prefer to work on stub, start, C- and B-class articles, which I feel need more help. This user doesn't care to use userboxes. ;) If you want to help with any the articles listed below, please bring up on the article's talk page or my talk page. Same thing for improvement suggestions or ideas for these articles.

Quotes
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. ... For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
— Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-9
On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power. Here, on Arrakis, we need desert power.
— Duke Leto Atreides
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
— David Banner
I happen to like to shoot first, Rekkon. As opposed to shooting second.
— Han Solo (Stars' End)
Jink or die.
— Bob Norris
You won't get wise with sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be...— Rush (Something for Nothing)
Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. We're going in... we're going in full throttle, that oughta keep those fighters off our back.
— Luke Skywalker
