My name is [[deacon|Dcn.]] '''Andrew Stephen Damick''', and I'm an [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America|Antiochian]] [[seminary|seminarian]] studying at [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary (South Canaan, Pennsylvania)]], working on an M.Div. degree, preparing for [[ordination]] to the [[priest|priesthood]].  I was ordained to the diaconate on [[October 30]], 2005, by Bp. [[Thomas (Joseph) of Oakland]] ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/asdamick/sets/1260314/ photos here]).  I am scheduled to be ordained to the holy priesthood on [[October 29]], 2006, at [http://www.allsaintsnc.org/ All Saints Orthodox Church] in Raleigh, NC, by Bp. [[Antoun (Khouri) of Miami]].
 
  
I previously earned my B.A. in English Language and Literature and minors in Ancient Greek, Religious Studies, and Classical Studies from North Carolina State University, graduating in 2001.
 
 
I have a wide range of interests in various religious fields, especially regarding [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christianity]], [[Byzantine Chant]], [[:Category:Church History|Church History]], and [[:Category:Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Saints|Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Saints]].  One of my major areas of research and interest is [[Orthodoxy in America]], and I like writing articles in that area about things that I wish other people had written articles about.  I'm also keenly interested in comparative religion, linguistics, etymology, English literature, and ancient languages.
 
 
I was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1975 and currently live in Simpson, Pennsylvania with my wife [[Shamassy]] Nicole.  We're expecting our first child around [[Holy Week]] of 2007.

I'm a Southerner by birth and at heart, though I do wish there were more proper bakeries south of the Mason-Dixon Line.  That's possibly one of the major things Yankees have gotten right.  (They tend to do autumn fairly splendidly, too, though the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia can give 'em all a run for their money.)

I additionally serve as one of OrthodoxWiki's lowly [[Special:Listadmins|sysops]], and I've been editing on OrthodoxWiki since [[December 17]], 2004, being the 10th user account created here.  If you have a question or comment or want to reply to a message I left for you, leave it on my [[User talk:ASDamick|Talk page]] (I might not see it if you leave it somewhere else).  I'm often the current editor-de-facto of the [[:Category:Featured Articles|Featured article]] section on OrthodoxWiki, so if you'd like to see an article featured on the [[Main Page]], let me know or comment in the Featured Articles [[Category talk:Featured Articles|Talk page]].
 
 
I can also be found on Wikipedia: [[Wikipedia:User:Preost]].
 
 
==Items of note==
 
[[Image:Icon studio.jpg|right|250px|Two icons, one finished, the other in process]]
 
*As of [[August 17]], 2006, at 4:40pm (EDT), I had '''[[User:ASDamick/counter.js|9,108 edits]]''' (not counting [[User:ByzBot|my bot]]) on OrthodoxWiki.  (If you want to know your own or anyone else's edit count, read instructions [[User:ASDamick/Counter|here]].)  As far as I can tell, I'm currently in the lead.  I'm hoping I hit 10,000 first.  (There's probably no prize, though.)
 
*I'm occasionally curmudgeonly, but don't usually mean to be.  The other drawback is that my indexing system probably won't make sense to you.  It makes total sense to me, though, I swear.  I also can't help but think in complete sentences, which can actually be rather debilitating at times.
 
*If you think I'm following you around on OrthodoxWiki (i.e., you notice I'm adding edits to articles shortly after you do), it's mainly because I keep my eye on [[Special:Recentchanges]] and notice what's seeing action.  I can't help putting my oar in, as my grandmother used to say.
 
*I'm very much prone to asking the question, "Do we really need an article on [X] on OrthodoxWiki?"  Unless we have something original, useful and substantial to offer, my view is that the wiki should be kept as small as possible.  Running a tight ship helps to ensure that we remain on course.
 
*I like taking photographs, and you can see my work on OrthodoxWiki in the [[:Category:Damick Images|Damick Images category]].
 
*Although I am an administrator on OrthodoxWiki, I'm really more interested in working on content than in administrative stuff.
