About me

I was born in 1968 in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Philadelphia, PA. For a decade, I scratched out a living among the scavengers and warring nomadic tribes, until my clan migrated to New York City. Over the course of the next ten years, I acquired the rudiments of civilization, including language, tool use, and a profound reverence for the blessed sacrament that is the bagel annointed with schmear. Armed with my newfound skills and the toroidal blessing of the holy bagel, I then embarked on an epic journey to Southern California, where I successfully founded a new tribe on the shores of the Pacific.

On Wikipedia

My goal on Wikipedia is to contribute to the quality of Wikipedia articles wherever possible, by locating sources, maintaining neutrality, and careful copyediting.

I respect Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and adhere to its guidelines. To avoid conflicts of interest, I do not edit articles regarding the insurance industry.

I am always open to constructive feedback, so please feel free to email me or leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns about my edits.
