There is a lot one could say about one’s self on an “about” page. The problem is whittling it down to the essentials.
 Naturally I think of where I grew up and where I went to school when I think about “me.”  I love that I’m a native of Prince George’s County, Maryland, and I’ll always be a proud alumnus of the University of Maryland, College Park and The George Washington University Law School.  But I left the Maryland/D.C. area after I graduated from law school in 1991, so that part of me seems far removed now, on the outer dressing of my life…sort of, unessential.
