As you can tell by my name, my character is a husky-raccoon hybrid that I've had since 2001. The husky half came from Exile, my favorite character from the Road Rovers series in the late 90s. The raccoon half comes from my grandfathers favorite animal.
I introduced my first fursuit at MFF 2004. He was rebuilt in time for MFM 2007. The most recent version was built by whiteyfawks and debuted at MFF 2013.
I am on staff at Midwest Furfest. I was on staff at Furry Connection North where I was in charge of the fursuit gamesand the fursuit dance competition.
As for my work and education history, I began umpiring baseball in 1996. I have umpired collegiate level baseball and state high school tournament games in the state of Ohio. I began officiating football and basketball at the high school level in 2008.
Obtained my Class A CDL in 2004. Spent nearly 4 years as a recreational vehicle transporter, getting to see 44 states and 6 provinces in the process.
Began attending The Ohio State University in 2008. Played one year of college baseball for OSU-Lima, followed by 3 years as a Big Ten Network Intern. While with BTN, I was a play-by-play announcer on national television for dozens of Ohio State games, covering numerous sports, from 2011-2012. In June 2012, I graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in actuarial science. I have also passed 2 Society of Actuaries exams.
I currently live in DuPage County, Illinois, working as an inventory operations analyst.
My hobbies include sports like softball, volleyball, tennis, and bowling. I also enjoy watching baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer. I also enjoy playing poker, socializing with friends, anything involving probability theory or statistics, and American politics.

African-Americans: Solidly Republican
11 years ago
Over the past several election cycles, it's become "common knowledge" that African Americans are a reliable voting block for the Democratic Party. It's all a lie. As I will show you soon, African Americans are as reliable for the Republican Party as Christian Conservatives in the Bible Belt are. I've got the data to prove it.
First, let's look at the Top 10 states by percentage of African American population.
State. .Population. . .Black. . .Black%
MS. . .2,967. . . . . .1,098. . . . . 37%
LA. . . 4,533. . . . . .1,452. . . . . 32%
GA. . .9,688. . . . . .2,950. . . . . 30%
MD. . .5,774. . . . . 1,700. . . . . . 29%
SC. . .4,625. . . . . .1,291. . . . . . 28%
AL. . . 4,780. . . . . .1,251. . . . . . 26%
NC. . .9,535. . . . . .2,049. . . . . . 21%
DE. . . . 898. . . . . . . 192. . . . . . 21%
VA. . .8,001. . . . . .1,551. . . . . . 19%
TN. . .6,346. . . . . .1,057. . . . . . 17%
* All figures in thousands
Now, those same 10 states by percentage of votes for Governor Romney in 2012.
State. . Votes. . .Romney. . .R%
MS. . . .1,286. . . . .711. . . 55%
LA. . . .1,994. . . .1,152. . . 58%
GA. . . .3,908. . . .2,079. . . 53%
MD. . . .2,707. . . . .972. . . 36%
SC. . . .1,964. . . .1,072. . . 55%
AL. . . .2,074. . . .1,256. . . 61%
NC. . . .4,505. . . .2,270. . 50.4%
DE. . . . . 414. . . . .165. . . 40%
VA. . . .3,854. . . .1,823. . . 47%
TN. . . .2,461. . . .1,462. . . 59%
* All figures in thousands
As you can plainly see, of the 7 states with the highest percentage of African American population, 6 of them went for Romney, 5 of them fairly comfortably, Maryland being the lone exception.
As a result, African Americans are shown to be a reliable voting block for the Republican party, regardless of what the media leads the public to believe.
Ok, enough of the bullshit. Do NOT EVER use statistical data like this. Please. It's like I read in an article today: "Poor households produce better football players because 4 of the top 10 NFL producing states per capita are in the bottom 10 in average household income."
IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
It's like the ice cream sales being correlated to crime rates, except those actually have a BETTER relationship than some of the bullshit I read from REAL JOURNALISTS!
If you have statistical data that doesn't quite make sure, then you should doubt the statistical data. For example, African Americans are just as reliably Democratic as people who are registered Democrats. This has been shown in exit polls since the Clinton administration.
I swear, if I ever am teaching a stats class, and some student turns in a project with a conclusion similar to this, I am going to fucking scream.
