Description I am well-versed in Objectivism. I have lived in Brazil for over 30 years. Now I'm in the USA (Evanston for now) and I have traveled a lot. I did Objectivism the hard way - full immediate conversion, life experiences in another culture taken straight with no chaser, high-adrenaline detours, then lots of online activity in the Objectivist and libertarian subculture.

I have worked in classical music, entertainment, translation and international finance in addition to some pretty offbeat activities. I have been described as an adventurer. That sounds about right. I met the love of my life, Katherine Lynne Wheeler (Kitten) on SoloHQ. We are engaged to be married and we now live together. What I most hate in life is hypocrisy. What I most love is finding truth - about myself, others and the universe I live in - and living it.
