I'm a 42 year-old information technology specialist and amateur playwright. I realize conservative playwrights are a minority in the field, but that's not going to stop me. I've had many staged readings, including one production at an arts festival that had multiple performances. I have a full production slated for September 2008.

After September 11th, I decided I should do my part in the war effort, so I enlisted in the Naval Reserves. I haven't been called up yet, but you never know. I'm ready when they call.

I recently married a wonderful woman. She is a school teacher, a theater fan, and a proud patriotic conservative.

I was a liberal until I became disgusted with Clinton, then I started reading a lot and learning the truth. The thinker who did the most to change my mind was Thomas Sowell. I like running, Ultimate frisbee, good books, and long conversations about everything. I ran a marathon in 2003.

I believe two things that always get people in trouble is when they talk more than listen and when they become convinced of their own intellectual "superiority."

Two things I have written have spread far and wide on the Internet. They are the fortieth post on this thread:
