From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi - I'm YatesByron! I'm a Engineer and play guitar. I joined Wikipedia to contribute. Run a coffee business. Travel between MA and CA. My favorite poem by Byron:

When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home, Let him combat for that of his neighbors;

Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome, And get knock'd on the head for his labors;

To do good to mankind is the chivalrous plan, And is always as nobly requited;

Then battle for freedom wherever you can, And, if not shot or hang'd, you'll get knighted.
