BeerBaron is a troper (since 2012) from Central Pennsylvania who currently resides outside of Philadelphia. He works in software development, is a freelance writer, and loves dogs. He is a big believer that Tropes Are Flexible, dislikes tropes that are overly narrow in scope, and hates deletions without an edit reason.
