<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
'''''Hello everyone!''''' My name is Jamie Gorton and I'm proud to make (even minor) contributions to Wikipedia. I took my B.A. in English from [[Saint Michael's College]] and my [[Juris Doctor]] at [[Boston University School of Law]]. I was born in [[Hooksett, New Hampshire]] and I currently reside outside in [[Malden, Massachusetts]], outside [[Boston, Massachusetts]].

==What I'm Up To==
'''Lawyering:''' I spend most of my time as an immigration lawyer. 

'''Hobbies:''' Numismatics and literature. 

'''Music:''' [[Umphrey's McGee]], [[The Beatles]], [[Phish]], [[Queen_(band)|Queen]], [[The Eagles]], [[Kanye West]], [[The New Deal_(band)|The New Deal]] and many more.

===Wikipedia and Me===
I believe Wikipedia is very valuable, even authoritative on some subjects. I worry that centralization and democratization of knowledge pose problems that we won't fully appreciate for many years but the problems of gentrifying knowledge are well known. I hope Wikipedia will be able to successfully balance accessibility with the richness of expert research and the depth of scholarly literature.

I'm not in a position to bring the weight of scholarly literature to Wikipedia, but I am a [[Wikipedia:WikiGnome]]. My writing experience focuses on local rewrites to cut lard from articles and enhance local clarity.

I would like to thank [[User:Jimbo Wales]] and everyone who helped developed his userspace page, which I am borrowing liberally from to make my own look pretty.
