This is a short biography, carefully written from appropriate sources in a good example of Wikipedia style. It's new enough, long enough, and entirely original. Where sources are quoted, there are the required attributions and quote marks. The hook is interesting, clear, and within the allowed length. It's stated in the article with an appropriate source, cited inline, which I've checked. QPQ done. This is good to go: yet another piece of good work from a pair of highly productive Wikipedians!
