About me

I'm a male college graduate in my 40's, and I work full-time. I'm married and have two young children. Hobbies and interests are reading, writing, running, travel. My reading (and, thus, my postings on Helium) includes current events, US history, sports, economics, and high-quality fiction. I don't watch TV because it's a complete waste of time, and I don't let my kids watch more than 3-4 hours per week. I do extensive volunteer services in my community - more than 500 hours per year. I'm very liberal politically, and I have no religious affiliation.
