The Northwest Voice

I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Missouri - Columbia. My wife and I have two children, Lincoln (4) and Holly (1). We used to live in Hesperia, Calif. but we'd visit Bakersfield at least twice a year to see my wife's relatives. The LDS Church in Bakersfield knows how to throw a pioneer day party. I also visited Bakersfield once to catch the L.A. Kings play the Colorado Avalanche. The small venue was probably about one of the best places I've ever caught a hockey game because it was so intimate.

Thanks once again to everyone who helped with my survey. I'll have the results for you soon.

I've been working for MyMissourian.com, a citizen journalism effort modeled after NorthwestVoice.com since November 2004. Check out what we are doing as well.

If you are interested I can provide a ton of links to research both industry and scholarly about what impact sites like NorthwestVoice.com are having on people and the industry. It's something I feel strongly about, so I don't mind sharing.

Thanks for reading my rants and for participating in a community like this.
