RPIRED (are-pee-eye-red) is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, hence the "RPI" part.

RPIRED is a male in the 18-36 demographic. He is a Sergeant in the United States Army Reserve. His Bachelor of Science from RPI is in the field of Management, with a minor in Political Science.

He is currently lives in Green Island, NY.

RPIRED is a conservative politically. He supported George W. Bush for President in both 2000 and 2004 and really doesn't care if you don't like it.

He has had to deal with a lifelong addiction to college ice hockey, specifically, the RPI Engineers. While attending RPI, he played the trumpet and bass drum in the RPI Pep Band.

In his free time, he writes fictional prose.

RPIRED has introduced articles on Houston Field House, the Beanpot, Interstate 787, Sport in North Korea, the Empire State Games, a List of Sirius Satellite Radio stations, an article on Eminem's song "Shake That," and a List of U.S. Presidents by date of death and by birth if you give a shit. An admitted New York Yankees fan, he also completely rewrote the article on the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.

He tests stuff here.
