What brought you to Free State? I was with DCRG for several years, and had moved a little too far to make that drive. Free State wasn't much closer, but it was closer, and it turned out to be the perfect place for me.

How did you find Free State? A couple friends from my old league suggested I might fit in here.

Dislikes: Bigotry, crickets, and the feeling you get when you realize 2 minutes from your destination that you left something really important at home.
