I’m an ex liberal who has come to his senses. I believe that you have to have heat to have light — which means you have to be put under some pressure in your personal life to help inform your political beliefs. Yes, you can calmly reason out your political beliefs, but the heat from personal experience and life’s challenges also helps form and maintain your political views.

My interests are art and music. I was a guitar teacher for the longest time and am now retired. I have a Masters in Theology and my undergraduate background is history and philosophy.
