48 year old computer/management professional. Currently employed by the State System of Higher Education (yes, a group of liberal snakes). Previously operated my own consulting business (which I am still managing part time). became a Republican during the first two years of Ronald Reagan's Presidency and now hold the man in high esteem as an American hero. Ashamed to say that my first Presidential vote was for Jimmy Carter in 1976 (though I still respect him as a person he turned out to be quite the weenie.) Married, 1 step-daughter, 2 sons (prior marriage). Wife is also a professional and a fairly new conservative convert (in the past 8 years - we have only been married for 6 1/2 so I have been converting her!)
