Hello, my name is Jared. I am a 21 year old Computer Science and Accounting major at Washington University in St. Louis. Born and raised in Queens, NY but not a Mets fan by any means. I now reside in East Meadow, LI against my will.

[edit] Brief Bio
The most important things in my life (besides my family and friends) are:
-
- The Yankees, Giants and Devils
- The four major sports
- Bowling
- Fantasy Baseball, and Football
- Texas Hold'em
- Movies
[edit] Explained
I guess I'll explain the above. I am a season ticket holder for the New York Yankees, 46 games a year sitting in the rightfield bleachers (with the Bleacher Creatures). This team is my life. Maybe when I'm rich I can buy them someday.
The four major sports...I mean look at my username. Sports is everything to me, real or fantasy. It consumes like 92.53% of my average day. But that's ok, because it's great.
While I attended the prestigious Bronx High School of Science in Bronx, NY back in the day, I was the captain of the Varsity Bowling team. And I'm damn proud of being a lefty too.
Holdem...well there's just no greater card game out there, hands down. I will be in the World Series main event some day (not this year, even though I'll be attending for part of it) and my goal is to make the top 200. This also consumes a huge part of my day, unless I'm not playing online for some reason.
Movies are just awesome. You can't argue that.
[edit] Wiki History
I only joined Wikipedia in August 2006 but have tried to make a big impact right away. I am currently trying to make the New York Yankees page FA-worthy by editing it like every day. It's the most productive thing I have accomplished at work in a very long time. If you ever see the Yankees page on the front of wikipedia.org, then remember me.
In recent news, the New Jersey Devils article has attained FEATURED STATUS!!. After the second time I nominated it, it has passed. Woohoo!!!
I suppose that I would like to become an admin someday. It's going to be a while though before I can even get a nomination.

[edit] Current Status
Still in my first semester of Senior year here at WashU. I'll be graduating in May so I will finally have to get a job, hopefully working for a nice big software company so I can pay back my ridiculously big college loans easier.
