Description

I've been a quiet Objectivist most of my life, partly, I imagine, not to offend or irritate others, including some family and friends. I work with ships, and have spent most of the last 23 years concentrating on my primary business, passing up more simple vacations or pleasures than I wish to think about. However, I do really enjoy my work. I also enjoy boating, cruising in particular, but there never seems to be enough time for it. I spend at least as much time puttering on the boat, as I do cruising. My taste in literature tends towards hard sci-fi, mostly works from a handful of authors I trust for cutting edge science and creative ideas. I am married to a wonderful, intelligent & creative woman. I have two grown children, and one ex wife.
