<big>'''About Me'''</big>

Hello and welcome to my user-page! My username comes from [[Stax Records]] (if you're wondering) and my real name is James. I have lived in [[Hamden, Connecticut]], [[New Haven, Connecticut]], [[Storrs, Connecticut]], [[Hartford, Connecticut]], and [[Wallingford, Connecticut]]. Stop me if you see a pattern. I joined Wikipedia as a [[High school senior|senior]] at [[Hopkins School]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Staxringold 2|became an admin]] in early June 2006. I have a variety of interests including [[baseball]], [[sabermetrics]], [[bluegrass music]], and [[port wine]]. I graduated with a [[Bachelor of arts|BA]] in Political Science from the [[University of Connecticut]] in 2010 and I earned a [[Juris Doctor|JD]] from [[University of Connecticut School of Law]] in 2013. I am a member of the Connecticut, [[United States District Court for the District of Connecticut|U.S. District of Connecticut]], and [[United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit|2nd Circuit]] [[Admission to the bar in the United States|bars]].

I try to remain an [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits|active Wikipedian]], though sometimes the pressures of the real world make that less likely. Given my editing tendancies I would consider myself a [[Wikipedia:WikiOgre|WikiOgre]], though I've collected quite a healthy edit count. Somebody even called me a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wikipedia%E2%80%99s_poor_treatment_of_its_most_important_articles.pdf&page=40 champion] once.
