#FamilyMan been married for >15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls
are my greatest love on this planet. I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist.
Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so
many things: governments aren’t the only ones stealing individual rights, I know
so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make
a difference without having to know anyone particular. I’m employed as contract
Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I’m
hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don’t have an engineering
degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and
found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study
Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more
than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap
at just the right time. I’m a #Libertarian and have been for over 20 years. The
love of libertarianism is what lead me to first to a BS in #political science
and later to falling in love with Free Software. These days I lean toward the
left side of the libertarian spectrum including being a member of the
Libertarian #Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSC-LP). Sometimes I
call myself a #LibSoc. I’m a huge #sports fan, but don’t following any
particular sport/team super closely. Lately I’ve been getting into #Cricket in
addition to my other passions of Professional #Wrestling, Lower Division North
American #Soccer, NHL & College #hockey, #baseball #olympics & #rugby (union and
#RugbyLeauge). My whole life used to be American #Football, but now-a-days I
can’t stand it anymore than I can basketball. I’m a #BornAgain #Christian,
accepting #Jesus as my savior at age 9. Received #Believers Baptism at age 18.
Received the baptism of the #HolySpirit as evident in speaking in #tougnes later
that year. The #Spirit lead me to the #Catholic #Church at age 20 where I was
confirmed at the Easter Vigil. I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ in
#recovery from lust. #XA #SA #CR Currently in the very early stages of
discernment for joining the #Ecumenical order of #Fransicans (#OEF).
