I was born in Mobile, Alabama and lived my entire life (so far) in various suburban and rural areas east of Mobile in Baldwin County. I attended Loxley Elementary School, Loxley Junior High and Robertsdale High School, graduating in 1988 with an Advanced Diploma. I attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile, and graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentrations in graphic design and marketing. After a year working as a restaurant manager, I was hired by the Mobile Press-Register newspaper as a graphic designer. In 1995 I married Darla R. Lee of Semmes, Alabama. I spent twenty years with the Press-Register designing newspaper and direct mailadvertising and acting as a liaison between technical support, software vendors and our in-house design staff. During that time, I also freelanced for a range of clients, including furniture stores, churches and an adult film distribution company. When Advance Publications reorganized their Alabama publishing arm as Alabama Media Group in 2012, I was asked to stay on as a marketing and web advertising designer. In 2013, I left to become a full time stay-at-home parent to my son, who was born in August of that year.
As of 3 March, 2020 I’ve been a Wikipedia editor for 15 years.
Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident? A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?

Here is a trick to make redirected wikilinks stand out by turning them green instead of blue! This is especially useful when working on navigation aids like lists and outlines, where you need to be sure a link leads to where it says it links to. This quick and easy solution uses customized CSS:
Go to your Preferences, click on the "Appearance" tab, and click the "Custom CSS" to the right of the skin you use. It opens a page to edit, and you can add the following code (just copy and paste it):
Save the page, and reload (bypass your browser cache) and/or (Purge) the Wikipedia server to force the new CSS to be included. All redirects will now show up as green links! If you prefer a different color, you can modify them by using six-digit hex codes.
In the table below, each color code listed is a shorthand for the RGB value; for example, code 609 is equivalent to RGB code 102-0-153 or HEX code #660099.
