My wife prompted us to seek out other Objectivists, hoping to find and build a community for ourselves and our children. I was fortunate to have been raised with Objectivism, and we are trying to raise our children with the philosophy.
I am an attorney and businessman. Before that, I was a chemist.
My wife and I met in university days. We have 3 children. For pets, my family has -- from largest to smallest: 3 horses; 3 dogs (deaf, dumb, & dumber); 2 rabbits; & 2 fish.
I spend too much time on the computer! Lately, I spend a lot of time tying to build NTOS. I enjoy my family, our small ranch and horses, and dining out. For vacation, we like to take our family to the beach and my wife and I enjoy scuba diving.
Atlas Shrugged.
My parents have always been interested in Objectivism. I credit them for raising me with this rational philosophy.
If you are looking for a local society centered on Ayn Rand's works and Objectivism, please consider joining us!
