Okay, I'll boil it down: I am first a Christian, and second, a libertarian, and I believe that the two ideas are not only compatible, but mutually dependent.

For those who I haven't scared off, I am also a musician. I play guitar, piano, trumpet, harmonica, and kazoo. I compose a lot of music, probably best described as orchestral metal. However, I am also in the music ministry of my church and write music for that purpose as well.

I'm a big fan of speculative fiction. I enjoy reading many kinds of science fiction and fantasy, and writing it as well.

I enjoy all kinds of humor - wit, irony, irreverence... I love all of it. But I also enjoy intellectual conversations, and I am a good listener when it comes to serious matters.

I am rational, reserved, and empathetic.

I am currently studying economics in college with the intent of becoming a professor one day. I am a radical proponent of the free market and personal liberty, and I hope to help victims of the public school system unlearn the propaganda and fallacy that they get through government education in regards to economics.

In the meantime I am writing a few novels, and also a book defending libertarian ethics from a Christian perspective.

My primary skills are in composing music, writing stories, and debating economics and philosophy.

...Yes. I am a nerd.

My beard. I have been told I look like a Viking.

My favorite authors include Robert Heinlein, Orson Scott Card, Terry Goodkind, and L. Neil Smith. If I had to choose a favorite fiction book, it would be Heinlein's science fiction classic, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I like movies that make me think, usually. But occasionally I want to turn my mind off with a good action flick. My favorites include Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, Serenity, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now.

As for music - I don't like urban pop music, and I don't like country pop music. What's left? Well, there's metal. I like metal. I also like progressive rock, so it follows that I am a big fan of progressive metal. But I prefer music with a lot of orchestration. So give me a fusion of orchestral metal with progressive rock, and you've got a very happy customer.

When I want to relax I like something more classical - Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Beethoven, Haydn... all heroes of mine.

My favorite food is cow. My second favorite is potatoes. My third favorite is fermented barley and hops.

Take that, Maslow.

Economics. Also, how to do away with the government. Specifically through agorist strategy.

Playing pool with friends and smoking a cigar

I have never been kissed.

I made you laugh, happy, excited, interested, or intrigued. If I made you sad or afraid we probably shouldn't see each other anymore.
