Born in New York City and raised in California when it was very Republican. However, due to the aerospace industry shuffle, left my beloved California for Seattle, WA. Then to New Orleans during the pre Apollo era, Huntsville, AL, Cape Canaveral, FL during Apollo era , Washington, D.C. and Houston, TX, during the Space Shuttle era. Then to Austin, TX.

Read Ayn Rand during late high school years, and her philosophy shaped the direction of my thinking... to this day. Consider myself a Republican/Libertarian and work for the Republican party candidates frequently, including the Bush for President Hq, and many State and local candidates.

Great harm has been done to us. And in our grief and anger we have found our moment and our mission. Freedom and fear are at war. Our nation - this generation - will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."
- President George W. Bush, 9/20/2001

"I am concerned for the security of this nation, not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within."
- General Douglas MacArthur

"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions and blood of better men than himself."
- John Stuart Mill
