CURRENT MISSION

Take a break from the crippling depression of living in a theocracy.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Texas, I;ve had a lot of jobs in IT. Now I live in Tel Aviv, in Florentin where I make music with my band, write novels, and make money working for my old boss in California doing VP stuff for him.

PHILOSOPHY

My happiness is no more or less important than anyone else's. I have no desire to be a leader and I resent being told waht to do in almost any context. I'm suspicious of government, religion, and most forms of authority, including my own parents.

Teach, Learn, Share
