[edit] About Me

I was born and raised in Miami Beach, FL. I'm an engineer who is now a law sutdent. I rarely do major edits, unless I believe some references are greatly desired. I tend to argue in the talk boxes, and see what other people think about my suggestions/opinions before I actually implement them. Other than that, everything you need to know about me is told by those boxes on the right.
