Recently Married (check the screenname for the date), digital media professional, working in Lexington, KY. I have a masters degree in electronic media production, and I edit video for an interfaith production company that supplies content for channels such as HallMark and PAX TV. I am also an instructor at a community college. I am a Christian, and me and my wife teach 15 screaming 3-5 year olds every week at our church. I have worked in computer tech support before my current position. Wrote a book, titled what every christian should know about the media. Book hasn't been published yet, but I'm still hopeful. You'll probably more than likely to find me posting in the media-related threads. Gotta stick with what you know.

as promised in a thread about china, here are some interesting tidbits about the chinese population and economy from the book China, Inc by Ted Fishman.
