I specialize in the editing/creating of biographies relating to attorneys, attorneys turned politicians, and attorneys turned U.S. Government officials, attorneys turned judges/justices, and attorneys who have pursued other careers.
These also include individuals who currently hold or have held top leadership positions within the Department of Justice (especially United States Attorneys), the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Secret Service, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Marshals Service, and other federal agencies. Most of this information can be found within the Official Congressional Directory.
Any birth dates of the individuals will be looked for via Google Books, Martindale-Hubbell Law Directories (Book Directory and Online Directory), and other sources Wikipedia see's reliable.
Any full names of the individuals most of time can be found in their state bar association profile, through the Martindale-Hubbell Online Directory, or other sources.
I also cover local politics, state politics, U.S. politics, and articles/bios relating to the U.S. Military.
I am a native of Westfield, Massachusetts, a 2019 graduate of the Westfield Technical Academy, and a former one time high school sports commentator.
I look forward to editing daily or part time on Wikipedia.
Sincerely,

Update: From August 2023 onwards I have decided to cover U.S. Military World War II veterans (mostly general officers and maybe even enlisted soldiers and/or officers). It all comes down to notability. For persons less than the rank of Brigadier General will be covered on Traces of War and/or the Military History Wikia. I may inquire to Wikipedia administrators or other editors on whether or not they could be on Wikipedia. General officers will also be covered on those sites as well. Existing articles and bios on the sites will also be updated by me with info found on the Internet from common sources.
I have many things in the works and it's all interesting. But my interests change a lot so I might not stick to this topic or subject forever but it's always good to cover veterans.

What goes in Infoboxes & General bios
[edit]Bold means it goes in both Infobox & general bio, Italic means it only goes in the infobox if the subject is not a officeholder, Regular text means that it does not go in the Infobox or general bio
- Infobox (commonly infobox officeholder and infobox person)
- Images
- Full Name (Infobox & general bio)
- Maiden Name(s) (Infobox & general bio)
- Date of Birth (Infobox & general bio) (I cover individuals who were born in the 19th century, died in the 20th century, born in the 20th century, and died in the 21st century, I also cover living people) (I have not yet covered someone who was born in the 21st century)
