[edit] Background
I live in New England (USA). I grew up in Rhode Island and attended schools in Massachusetts and Maine. I'm not a professional historian, but simply a compiler and volunteer editor of information on Wikipedia. I graduated from Bates College in Maine and Suffolk University Law School in Boston with a Juris Doctor and am a member of the bar in three states.
[edit] Contributions
On Wikipedia I primarily focus on articles dealing with my local historic sites and notable people. Over the past years, I've added new articles and stubs about New England's National Historic Places using the National Register infobox generator. Despite receiving several complaints about my brief NRHP stubs, I believe minimal stubs are better than nothing at all. The sooner the stubs are up, the sooner everyone can add to them. Feel free to drop me a message on the the talk page!
Substantial contributions or new articles include:
