Terry is the managing content editor for Massachusetts Newswire™, and has been a team member of the Neotrope® News Network since March 2009. He is currently attending college in Boston (he didn't make it into MIT and blames Red Bull for not giving him wiings to do so), does not hang out at "frat" parties, or have an avatar in Second Life, but he is a huge J.J. Abrams fan, and slavish to all things pop culture.
