YellowJacket was born in Tampa, Florida in 1986. Due to his father’s job he lived all around the county during his illustrious childhood. Only a few months after being born, Langley’s family moved to Minneapolis for two years, followed by Dallas, Texas for a year and a half, followed by Tampa (again) for five years, followed by Minneapolis (yet again) for two more years, until finally settling down in Atlanta amidst the 1996 Olympics. YellowJacket’s family has lived in Sandy Springs, Georgia ever since, and one of YellowJacket’s first voting experiences was voting in the recent referendum to incorporate Sandy Springs as a city to keep more local tax dollars in the region.

YellowJacket is currently in his second year attending the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is majoring in Mechanical Engineering and trying to get out alive. He is a brother of Chi Psi Fraternity, along with Mike, and is also involved in several other campus organizations.

Though an engineering major, YellowJacket also has a passion for politics and current affairs. He applies his political knowledge (what little there may be) and opinions through journalism, which he developed a talent for while writing for the North Springs Oracle; as Editor in Chief he lead the high school paper to win many statewide awards. Due to this journalism background, he isn’t a typical number-crunching engineering student and in the political arena, has a particular interest in journalism and bias in the media.

Though a young college student with idealistic ideas and a keen interest in beer, not to mention very little direct political experience, YellowJacket has a firm belief in the Constitutional ideals of our Republic as intended by our Founding Fathers. His favorite historical figures are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee. His favorite beer is Corona, and he enjoys long walks on the beach.

UPDATE: [Feb. 4, 2008] I’m now in my 4th year at Georgia Tech, and am getting my degree in Economics and International Affairs. Go Jackets.
