HI! I'M KEVIN MCCOY. I'm from Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and I'm a freelance union stagehand. I do work mostly in the field of lighting and sound, plus production management, and I've spent a number of years on tour.
I've been around Wikipedia since June of 2004, and I've been an administrator since August 2, 2005. Joining the project was an obvious move in my continuing slide into the use of open-source/content stuff. My first edit was a minor clarification on USA PATRIOT Act. While I've never really much enjoyed writing, I tend to notice typos and the like quite frequently. So I did a bit of copyediting on Minnesota's page. My first non-minor edit was on KVLY-TV mast and I did a revamp of the page on sound. I've since done some other reworkings of articles, and a bunch of typos and vandalism watch. I spent a few days compiling a list of all the vandalism done by a person (or people working together) at User:Kmccoy/Delfino in order to ensure we reverted all the spam.
I've also uploaded a few pictures, both here and to the Commons. One of my pictures has been used in a number of articles and a few templates, and was even nominated as a featured picture candidate; I took Image:Uscapitolindaylight.jpg while visiting Washington in 2004.
Unfortunately, I don't edit much anymore, due mostly to a lack of time while I'm working on tour and a very slow (dial-up, *gasp*) Internet connection when I'm off tour and staying at home. I'm sometimes found in the Wikimedia IRC channels on freenode, and (in addition to the normal off-topic chatter that goes on) I like to help users there with Wikipedia-related questions. On occasion I like to help resolve conflicts here on Wikipedia where I can, trying to offer a calming influence.
I am also Kmccoy on the Spanish Wikipedia. I'm trying to learn Spanish. Or at least to keep what little Spanish I know from rotting away in my mind because of disuse.
My global Wikimedia login is Kmccoy.
I've done a fair bit of work as a sound engineer, and I'm happy to provide help here on Wikipedia with any sound editing needs. Just ask on my talk page.
I borrowed the idea of a display of flags for places visited from Tony the Marine. Thanks. :)
