Hello Wikipedia! I am Ljthefro!

About Me

I am a native Nevadan, originally from Las Vegas.

I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno, where I was actively involved on campus (including a four-year tenure as a resident assistant). I recently received an M.A. in Educational Leadership from the same institution. I am now an academic advisor at my alma mater.

I consider myself a roadgeek, and have been one for as long as I can remember--having memorized the legend of all the freeway signs near my house by age 4 should attest to that. I'm also a huge fan of game shows, and was the host of UNR's very popular recreation of The Price Is Right for its first six years.

Wikipedia interests

Right now, my editing focus is on highways in Nevada. I occasionally contribute in other areas as well, especially on articles pertaining to my other interests and in small cleanup of grammar/style.
