About Me

  • About Me: I've completed my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics, and I'm currently pursuing a second Masters degree in Medical Physics. I am a Christian. Theologically, I'm more Arminian with a presuppositional-style apologetic, and I would consider myself non-denominational. Politically, I favor more of a libertarian/traditional conservative/classical liberal form of government. My political ideology has transformed over the years. I grew up with more of a populist ideology. Over time I became more conservative, and now I'm more libertarian. Basically, I prefer the voluntary cooperation of free individuals in a laissez-faire free market economy over government control and central planning. I also support returning powers back to the states that have been usurped by the massive growth of the federal government.
