About Me
I am a conservative Republican with some libertarian tendencies. I enjoy watching baseball, college basketball, and college football. As someone formerly from the great state of Ohio, I strongly believe that any team from the University of Michigan sucks. In another rebellious departure from my parents’ belief system, I contend that warm weather year-round is overrated. Big piles of fluffy snow, which we have in Ohio during the winter, are much less dangerous than South Carolina’s ice storms. I miss cold weather accompanied by big piles of fluffy snow more than anything.
By some miracle, and a little bit of hard work, I graduated from the University of Akron in 2001. I’m still looking for my dream job, and I hope I will find it someday.
