About Me

I'm creative and nerdy. I love designing things, whether it be Web sites or signs or houses or women (bad 80's sitcom joke, sorry). I have been married since 2000 and just recently had a baby boy, Lucas. My cat Lollipop is jealous. I'm all about music. I recently ripped all of my 600+ CDs to 192Kbps MP3 files so I can listen to them through my TiVo on my surround system. And I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Luckily, Jen went into labor 2 hours after we finished watching the midnight premiere.

I've never been much of a "social activism" kind of guy (in fact I detest socialism), but I've had it up to here with religion. Being a history buff, it's quite plain that most problems the world has had to deal with have been caused or fueled by religion. I long for the day when somebody's "qualifications" for the Supreme Court, not to mention the Presidency, don't include their religion.
