View source for User:Gary D Robson

I am a writer with a fairly wide range of interests, so my Wikipedia edits cover quite a few different areas. In addition to what's shown below, I've worked in computer science and microelectronic engineering, spent 16 years managing a bookstore, published a [[The Local Rag (newspaper)|newspaper]], and my wife and I own a tea shop in [[Red Lodge, Montana]]. My Wikipedia page is [[Gary D. Robson]].

== Wildlife and Conservation ==

I was the Executive Director of [[Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary]]. I worked there full-time from 2018 to 2022, served on the board of directors twice, and volunteered in various capacities for many years.

== Closed Captioning and Court Reporting ==

My primary area of technical expertise is in [[closed captioning]] (I wrote the "World Book Encyclopedia" article defining closed captioning). My wife and I used to own a [[court reporting]] software company, and I was co-inventor of an ergonomic [[stenotype]] machine. I've written four books about captioning and reporting, and gave a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED_(conference)#TEDx|TEDx talk]] about captioning. I also hold two U.S. patents (#7,360,234 and #8,245,252) relating to closed captioning.

== Where I Live ==

I live in [[Carbon County, Montana]]. Slowly but surely I've been adding information about the small towns in our area. I co-wrote a booklet about the [[Smith Mine disaster]] of [[1943]] for the Carbon County Historical Society.

== My ''Who Pooped in the Park?'' Children's Books ==

I am the author of a series of children's guides to [[feces|scats]] and tracks, each set in a different [[United States National Park|National Park]] or ecosystem. There are 20 books in the series.

== Licensing ==

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, any and all talk pages, and any and all project pages, as described below:
