I was born in Jacksonville, Florida on March 19, 1983. I've gone to private schools all of my life. In seventh grade, I met Meg Delaney, and in eighth grade, I started dating her. We've been together ever since (currently juniors in college). I found out (hey, I thought Delaney was a common name) later that she was the Mayor's daughter. Both of us attend the University of Florida. I major in Computer Science, minor in History, and I am taking a few journalism/writing classes on the side. In late September, I had a friend killed in a streetfight. In mid-October, I had a friend drown. Early November, I had a friend killed in a New Jersey school shooting, and in late November, my dad passed away. -Personal moral quotes: "The difference between an error and a mistake [, Ensign,] is that anyone can make an error. That error only becomes a mistake when you refuse to correct it. Errors are forgivable so long as they do not become mistakes." "Cities and countries are important, but when you look beyond the fancy names, they're all made up of people. So, one cannot become so wrapped up in the affairs of the world that he forgets his concern for individual people."
