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.

Wikipedia's articles are no place for strong views. Or rather, we feel about them the way that a natural history museum feels about tigers. We admire them and want our visitors to see how fierce and clever they are, so we stuff them and mount them for close inspection, with all sorts of carefully worded signs to get people to appreciate them as much as we do. But however much we adore tigers, a live tiger loose in the museum is seen as an urgent problem. Be HAPPY! Thats an official policy!
