I contribute to the Los Angeles Kings Wiki page. I am a freelance writer covering the team, and I grew up in the Los Angeles area and have followed the team since 1973.

I have access to a number of resources for information on the LA Kings, including their annual media guide, the NHL Official Guide and Record Book, and I have direct access to the Kings' Communications department staff. I also am on the Communications department's e-mail distribution list for official press releases. I also have access to the Communications staff with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, the Kings' primary minor league affiliate.

I'm not saying all this to show off or anything...just trying to show that I have some credibility. :-)

Aside from my freelance writing, I also contribute all the hard news stories, including game reports, to the Online Kingdom, and I am the lead writer covering the Kings for hockeytalk.biz Gmatsuda 21:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I am also a major contributor to the Manzanar Wiki page. I am a member of the Manzanar Committee, and I served as a member of the Manzanar National Historic Site Advisory Commission, appointed by the US Secretary of the Interior, from 1994 - 2004. Gmatsuda 08:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
