Hello there, and welcome to my user page, fellow traveler. ‘Tis a nice day, is it not? This page is a work in progress. I am a professional pyrotechnician, as my Wikipedia username suggests. My work includes the typical manufacture of display fireworks, but I also create high explosives and the subsequent devices where they may be employed. It is also with mentioning that I am a chemist, and have a refined understanding of both organic and inorganic chemistry, especially with respect to the preparation of energetic materials. I am interested in sharing images of these substances for use on commons, as well as ball and stick models of molecules. (I am yet to do these things, but I plan on it. Alas, I live a considerably busy life.)


It should be noted that I am humbled to support the incredible international collaborative project that is Wikipedia, an arrangement I truly believe in and love. I commend all of my collaborating brother and sister editors for doing what they do, continuing the immensely challenging task that is maintaining the quality and credibility of this excellent website. That said, this place is not prefect, and it possesses flaws. For example, at times, some editors may fail to fully promote the unbiased environment and values this website needs to operate on.[1][2] Bias should have no place on Wikipedia.[3][4] Many of my fellow editors, including you, the individual reading this page, likely agree with this, and rightly so if true.[5] The truth of the matter is, having biased content on Wikipedia damages our reputation, and my love for this project moves me to point this out to some of those who may not be fully aware. Thank you for your efforts to keep making Wikipedia better.
