My name is Justin and I have been using and editing Wikipedia for over 18 years now.
FYI, I haven't updated anything below this line in like 15 years, so... I'll get to that eventually!
I was born on January 28, 1991 in New Orleans, Louisiana. I switched schools 9 times between kindergarten and my senior year, which officially came to a close on May 22 of 2009. Other than that, I'm a pretty uninteresting guy. Besides Wikipedia, the things I really love are music, video games, and TV. This may sound bad, but I have time now, since I don't start college at UNO until January.

How I found Wikipedia
edit
Living in New Orleans, I had no computer. I admittedly did not know what Wikipedia was. Then, on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit. My family and I were forced to relocate, and relocate we did. We moved to a small town named St. Amant, and I began attending St. Amant High School. We were able to do all this so quickly with assistance from FEMA, and with that assistance, we also got our first family computer. Finding Wikipedia did not take long at all, and I immediately fell in love with the site. That love only grew when I realized it was user-edited! I created my account on May 6, 2006, and promptly made my first few "rookie mistakes", suck as using copyrighted images, and adding info some other users considered "useless". Since then, I've made a conscious effort to learn the policies of Wikipedia and I like to think I've improved tremendously over the years. I would love to one day be a sysop here on Wikipedia, not for the power, for the improvement and maintenance on this amazing online encyclopedia we all love.
Where Did My Username Come From?
edit
My first (and original) username was Hiphopchamp. This name came from me when I was 15. In retrospect, I don't know why I chose it. I had it changed because it didn't reflect me personally at all. I rarely listen to hip-hop anymore, and I feared that it would seem immature to my fellow Wikipedians.
My username is now Cold Phront. This name comes from my fraternity...and that's pretty much it!
