Let's Talk reader profiles offer snapshots of tampabay.com readers, giving others a chance to glimpse who's behind a username on blog comments. Today, we introduce Drew Smith, a genealogy buff and follower of  The Gradebook. A University of South Florida librarian, Smith visits tampabay.com's schools blog regularly to see what education issues are making headlines in the Tampa Bay area and statewide.

Smith was kind enough to share his favorite Florida getaway, what he's reading, how he'd spend $1 million and more:
