By grace, Born Again Christian - after graduating college as a state indoctrinated atheist from Michigan.

Moved to Texas in the early ‘80’s to work on pioneering a global distributed computing platform for a Fortune 100 high-tech corporation ¹.

Joined FR in 1997 from my recollection, but my original profile disappeared in one of the outages and restorations.

Constitutional conservative.

• I hold the Bible to be the word of God.
• I hold that there is a form of government that conforms to Biblical doctrines.
• I hold that our form of government, as envisioned by our founders, is as close as man has come to establishing God’s desired way to manage society in a fallen world - before He comes back to establish His New Jerusalem.

Our form of government, a Constitutional Republic, is only legitimate when administering very specific duties based on rights granted to each individual by God (Natural Rights). This government’s authority is limited to a small, enumerated subset of Natural Rights, delegated by individuals in the proper manner to a government that is subordinated and accountable to citizens.

BS in Computer Science, MBA with Highest Honors, and PMP (Project Management Professional - like a CPA for managing projects, portfolios, and programs).

¹ Nerd speak: 24 x 7 x 365 global system of mainframes, mini’s, and desktops - networked by satellites, terrestrial, and LANs - with hypertext, distributed database transactions, LAN storage, and eMail - all before any company to my knowledge had anything close to a fully integrated global system to address every aspect of people, process, and technology.
