Name: Brendan Byrne
Location: Rochester, New York, United States

Born in St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, New York. Attended Jesuit School (kind of like Catholic School, only more so) and went to a Public College. Relocated to Atlanta in June, 2000, and to Staten Island in 2004. Back to Rochester in 2005. Trying to get back into racing shape. I nicknamed my daughter Electra and my son Oed (short for Oedipus) because they are walking, talking examples of the respective complexes.

I don't think I look particularly happy, but in the immortal words of David Byrne: "People in ecstasy look stupid."
