I am a college student from New Orleans, Louisiana (Metairie, if you want to be specific) majoring in Classics.
My interests include sports (pretty much any and every sport ever played) and musical theater (I have worked as an actor, light board operator, spot op, sound board operator, carpenter, electrician, assistant director, stage manager, and lighting designer).
My lifelong dream has been to appear on Jeopardy! and on January 10th, that dream came true, as I won $14,400 by defeating 8-time champion Tom Kavanaugh. I went on to win a total of six games and $100,201 (including $2,000 for finishing second in my seventh game). I signed up for a Wikipedia account on October 29, 2004. I confess to being a rather lazy Wikipedian.
I do not care to disclose my feelings on various controversial issues of a political, religious, linguistic, or other nature, since I like the measure of ideological anonymity provided here, and I would prefer not to squander it.
Thanks to Hurricane Katrina I spent the fall 2005 semester in Worcester, Massachusetts attending The College of the Holy Cross. Apart from that semester, my college career has been at Loyola University New Orleans. I graduated from Jesuit High School, New Orleans in 2003.
While in High School, Mr. Marshall excelled at quiz bowl, his freshman year defeating favored Caddo Magnet JV team in the finals at ESA, on an overtime question regarding time zones (10 PM was the correct answer, and it still stings). Later on in his college career, Marshall lost to a resurgent Caddo Magnet squad that featured the same team. In a strange twist of fate, two members of Magnet's team were sons of Jesuit graduates. Marshall had the last laugh however, as he went on to win 100,000 dollars on national television, while the members of the Caddo team have gone on to be nothing special. Congratualtions Kevin, you deserve it. (Though these people probably have lives that he will never have.) In a strange small-world fun fact, Kevin now attends Loyola University, whose President, Kevin Wildes, was the jesuit-in-residence at the dorm where lived one member of that same Caddo team at Georgetown University in 2003-4.
So far I have created entries for:
- Children of Eden
- Andrew Lippa
- Kristin Chenoweth
- Steel Pier (stub)
- Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical
- Tony Award for Best Original Score
- Jeanine Tesori (stub)
- Norbert Leo Butz (stub)
- Carolee Carmello (stub)
- Latin poetry
- Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans (stub)
- Tad Gormley Stadium (stub)
- History of the New Orleans Saints
- History of New Orleans (although all I really did was move it from the New Orleans article)
- Sports league (stub)
- List of musical theatre composers
I have also edited entries on a number of topics related to musicals, sports, Louisiana, and possibly a few other things I'm forgetting.
Stuff on my to-do list (and somehow, I never get around to doing this stuff):
- Work a bit more on the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup article
- Finish the History of the New Orleans Saints and expand New Orleans Saints; it'd be great to get one NFL team article up to FA status so that every other team has a good template and example to work from.
- Finish work on adding writers and nominees to all the Tony Award subpages
- Work on adding the {{Broadway-show}} template to Broadway musical articles, and expanding Broadway musical articles
