I am here to help out wherever I can, such as making sure news articles are up to date, creating new articles when news happens, and just to make sure things run smoothly here. In other words, if news breaks, you'll hear it from me. In real life (whatever that is), I am a part-time student pilot. I'm currently studying at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and I am a brother of Theta Xi.
