I am currently employed as a DB2 and Oracle database administrator in Toronto, Ontario. However, after working in IT for 20 years I am feeling a little burned out and somewhat cynical. So I am returning to school to study plant biology. I like to call myself a quiet environmentalist, which means I try to live my life with environmental goals in mind but I am no raging activist.
I am a member of the Task Force to Bring Back the Don, a city advisory committee. I am on the Brick Works Public Advisory Committee and also sit on the Board of Directors for Friends of the Don East. When the weather is nice one my favourite activities is biking or hiking along the trails in the Don. I like to think that I take after Charles Sauriol in that respect. Sauriol kept a diary of his travels but I maintain a weblog called [Donwatcher] where I post articles and photos about the Don River.
I have a variety of other interests including contract bridge, board games, and local Toronto history. I used to be quite active in sports but the only one left that I still do is curling. I have used all this varied knowledge and experience in updating Wikipedia which I am rather new at.
To date I have made updates to several pages on some of the above interests. Recently I have created new Wiki articles for Kay Gardner, a Toronto city councillor, and the Belt Line Railway, a defunct system that ran commuter trains through the lower part of the Don Valley. I am currently working on a biography for Charles Sauriol, a Toronto naturalist who loved the Don even more than I do.
"Atrian" is an oblique reference to a character in a D&D campaign I played in, in my wayward youth.
