Successful business man, pilot and now retired. I live on a small ranch east of Austin, Texas. I love planes, tractors, gardens, goats, cows, wildlife and most of all, my family.

I believe in democracy and freedom. I believe this country was founded on the rights of the individual and the collective security of our state. This past half century has seen the rise of the corporate state that seeks absolute power in its persuit of profit. I define fascism as the merger of government and business to promote the interest of both at the expense of the people and their rights. We are on the edge of fascism.

Un-abashed liberal... go ahead and take your best shot.
