Imzadi1979
Here's a little more about me. Any questions, hit the e-mail link at the left.
I'm originally from Negaunee in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but I've lived in Traverse City in Northern Michigan on the Lower Peninsula from July 2007 to December 2008, and I've lived in the Grand Rapids metro area until February 2012, but I've always considered myself a proud Yooper in addition to being a Michiganian. I primarily write and edit articles about highways in the United States, usually in my home state of Michigan.
