Everything you never wanted to know about me, but were going to ask anyway. I contribute to Wikipedia because it's an invaluable resource for the entire world. Feel free to peruse the rest of this page at your leisure. I worked hard to make it nice and pretty!

I have foreseen potential problems with my username. Currently, I am unaware of any notable person who shares my first name and initials, so it shouldn't be an issue in that respect. Please don't block me if some Hector Alfredo Esperanza comes up in the news. There is no intent to impersonate here and I will gladly disclaim any relation to applicable persons if so desired.

I do not provide a list or overview of articles I have written, created, improved, etc.; I think anyone seeking that kind of data would be better served by sifting through my contributions.
