Personal Information
[edit]I joined Wikipedia in June 2005. I'm a software engineer who grew up in New York and settled in Massachusetts. I'm an only child of an only child, I enjoy ice hockey and recreational mathematics and I am afflicted with insomnia, dysphemia, deuteranopia and severe myopia. I'm probably a WikiGnome, too.
