I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and went to the University of Kentucky from which I received a Bachelor of Arts in Music. In 2005 I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Michigan State University, and I now live in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Much of my work in Wikipedia has been related to bluegrass music, which I grew up listening to. Going forward, I plan to continue work on bluegrass music related articles, including the main article, subgenres, and musicians. If you would like to discuss bluegrass or any other article/topic to which I've contributed (or something completely off-topic like the weather, which for me is particularly nasty at the moment) just leave a note on my talk page; I check it regularly. If you are also working on bluegrass music related articles, you are welcome to make full use of my to-do list below.

Note

Please note that the term "cmadler" (regardless of case) is my mark, to which I grant Wikipedia and all other Wikimedia projects unreserved rights, on the conditions that the term may only be used in reference to me or my contributions. I have been using this invented name since 1996, and to my knowledge I am the first creator of this word. A [http://www.google.com/search?hs=dO&hl=em&lr=&clent=opera&rls=en&as_qdr=all&q=cmadler&btnG=Search Google search on the term] yields approximately 50 distinct hits (over 280 in total), all of which refer to me.
