I am an Electrical Engineer living in Tampa, Florida, and working at a military Research and Development company in St. Petersburg. I am married and have three daughters. I hold a M.S.E.E. (91) from the
University of South Florida, I have most of a history degree, and a chunk of philosophy coursework. I am a high school drop out. I also hold an Associates in Anthropology from
Miami Dade Community College. I am active in my
Catholic Parish, in the Church, very active in
apologetics and once was employed by a
lay apostolate as an Engineering Director. I am a Fourth Degree
Knight of Columbus, and a
Past Grand Knight.
I am an avid gamer, playing
Everquest and in-person games. I used to play a lot of
Dungeons and Dragons in the RPGA using
Living Greyhawk. I play a lot in
Pathfinder. I have a large miniature collection featuring
Warhammer 40k but I don't play much now. I used to play a lot of
Traveller and other games. I am also a
Ham radio operator, and spend a lot of time monkeying around with electronics when not monkeying around with them at work.
I also fish, I like cruising or
sailing, and I enjoy being outside
camping.
When I was a performance artist, I had once had my foot-and-a-half long hair shaved to my skull while me and the band played along to the electric razors we thoughtfully miked. Now I love to wake up on Saturday Morning, turn on the TV to
Classic Arts Showcase in the stillness of the morning, and wait for my children to start yelling, screaming and fighting over a toy.
I enjoy pulling a random volume off the shelf and turning to a random page. My favorite is the
Encyclopedia Britannica from
1964.
Activist types gave me a sour taste, and frankly often I wonder why I was fighting a horde of dunces. I am in a work slowdown. I have winnowed down my watch list. If you think something needs my attention, use my talk page.
