I was going to suggest that you do some SEO work on your name but I don't know if it's possible to bury all that news coverage. I was able to bury mine with a mountain of other content but yours got more coverage. Eventually maybe you can push that stuff off the first page of results and present a better view of yourself to anyone that searches.

Yes, that would probably help tremendously as well.

It's hard to believe now, but some day this will all fade. I go days and weeks without even remembering that I'm a convicted federal felon. Today I only really think about it when I'm volunteering somewhere and it's time for a background check, when I think about travelling to Canada, or when I see a firearm I wish I could own. I've passed a half-dozen background checks and been able to volunteer without a problem, I think I could travel to Canada now but there's a chance they would deny me, but I doubt I'll ever get firearm ownership rights back.
