| Description I'm damned tired of putting up with the stupidity that I see, and much more impatient than I ever was before. I first read Rand when I was sixteen, and decided then that I was Objectivist, and do still consider myself an Objectivist today. Nevertheless, I still see what I consider many inconsistencies of opinion and interpretation within the Objectivist community, that I would like to be able to reconcile. That is why I joined ROR.

I am married to a wonderful, intelligent & creative woman. I have two grown children, and one ex wife.
I have owned and operated my own business for the past 24 years, and survived through two (and hopefully soon through three) difficult recessions.
