My online nickname is RattleMan. I was born in Colorado, USA in 1987. While I was living in Colorado, I began to get interested in hurricanes by watching such disasters as Hurricane Andrew unfolding in 1992, Andrew being about the first storm I remember vividly. In 1996 moved to Phoenix, Arizona, one of the most driest places in the United States. I love learning about history and watching documentaries. I am a fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, having played the first game back in 1991. Currently, the tropics are one of my bigger interests, and I began editing Wikipedia in July 2005 after being directly affected by 2005's Tropical Storm Arlene while on vacation.
