I'm from the U.S. state of Maryland. Real life sometimes intervenes, so I do as much as I can when I have the time, but there may be various times when I go suddenly inactive, which is why William Claiborne isn't featured. My interests are pretty varied, though I spend a lot of time lurking around featured list candidates and DYK and editing articles about the history of Maryland and the Olympic Games. I have edited in previous incarnations as Mocko13 and another account whose name I forget, but no longer use those accounts. Happy to help in any way I can, if you need assistance in some way just let me know.
