About me
I chose my username because I am a Utah fan, and I lived in Washington, D.C. when I registered for Wikipedia. Now I have graduated from law school and am back in Salt Lake City, but I kept my original username. I am active in WikiProject College football. I also enjoy welcoming newcomers as well as reverting vandalism, which I find therapeutic. I love barnstars. I have four so far, but always appreciate more. So if I've done something you think is worthy of recognition, show some WikiLove and award me one on my talk page, okay? |

Picture of the day
I endorse more pictures and visual media on Wikipedia. To that end, I put the picture of the day on my profile page to raise awareness of the power of visual media. Euthrix potatoria, commonly known as the drinker, is an orange-brown moth in the family Lasiocampidae. The species' common and scientific names derive from the larva's supposed drinking of drops of dew. It is found in Europe, most frequently found in marshy places, fens and riversides but may also be seen in drier, grassy terrain. The larva (caterpillar) of this species grows to about 6 cm (2.3 in) in length and is hairy, striped and spotted, with distinctive tufts fore and aft. Caterpillars hibernate while young and resume feeding in the spring, pupating in a cocoon during the summer. This picture shows the top of an E. potatoria caterpillar in Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

The Original Barnstar | |
Great work on your edits to Holy War (Utah vs. BYU). You did a good job of making balanced edits to an article that sees some very partisan and biased edits. I tried to find a 'Keeping It Real' barnstar, but I don't think there is one. So thanks for not letting your own views get in the way of writing a fair and complete article.
