ABOUT ME

I am a 43 year old male who has a beautiful wife and 4 kids - (8,4, and 2x2). I'm a nerd without the high-waters and the glasses.

My wife is 37. She's a fun-loving and fashionable manager of a boutique here in Houston, and likes video games, snowboarding, heelys, and Battlestar Galactica.

We're both vegetarians but you can cook and eat meat at our house if you care too; truthfully we eat out most days anyway :).

PHILOSOPHY

I am a humanist and a realist, in that I believe that if mankind is to solve its problems those solutions will come solely from the application of human endeavor and not handed down by some mythical figure. In most ways I am a materialist.

My overriding philosophy is that I prefer not to obsess about philosophy. If you're cool I don't care what you believe; just don't expect ME to believe it too! :)

教，学，和分享

I can offer you some authors to study if you are interested in learning about rationalism or general science, I can help you learn to recognize flim-flam better and to think more critically in general. I can also teach you how to DJ with turntables, which I have done for several years, both at home and in clubs as a resident.
