I'm Bert, the newest addition to the Community Support team. I am very excited to be joining Wikia, and to be working with all the diverse communities here. I am looking forward to helping to make things better any way that I can. Previously I was with liveBooks, a software & web design company where I also got to work with a great group of creative and interesting users.

My interests range from comics, science fiction, horror and comedy to pop music, life sciences, astronomy and cryptozoology. Wikis that I visited frequently before starting at Wikia are Memory Beta , Marvel Database , Muppet Wiki , Teletraan I and Wookieepedia . I know that list will be growing exponentially very soon! In my non-media life I enjoy the beach, travelling, hiking, chicken tikka masala and my two small dogs.

So far I have been very impressed in my interactions with Wikians -- lots of positive energy, good humor and detailed bug reports. I'm looking forward to talking more with everyone in central chat and elsewhere.
