I completed my frontal lobotomy in physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago in December 2006. Though I'm generally passionate about the arts and sciences, I have a special interest in physics, philosophy, and mathematics. I'm firmly neo-conservative: pro-defense, pro-market, and pro-individual. Favorite conservative writers include Leo Strauss, Roger Scruton, Christopher Lasch, David Stove, and Friedrich von Hayek. I'm an outstanding trombone player, I love to travel, and I can also hoop it up.
