I'm just another person that spends way too much time on Wikipedia. I'm a proud American who spent 13 years in the
U.S. Army, five of which were spent overseas. I've recently discovered that I enjoy editing Wikipedia articles. There are a lot of errors and false/inaccurate data on many of these pages and I try to clean them up.

Atlanta,
Georgia in July of
1980. For the most part I grew up in
