About me:
- 5th Generation American. My great great grandfather immigrated from Germany in his early 20's (21 or 22) the year after the end of the civil war.
- Home schooled.
- I taught myself computer programming.
- Got a BA in Computer Science
- I started learning Spanish when I was 18 and then moved to Mexico for three years to get experience with business Spanish.
- I am an INTP on the Myer-Briggs personality type.
Beliefs:
- I am a Christian and I hope that despite me you might have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- I believe in free self-regulating markets.
- I believe in life. Every deserves a chance at life even the unborn.
- The only welfare I believe in is the welfare of my family and then helping those around me who are in real need. The government makes this hard to do.
