Introduction

I've actively studied the Objectivist philososphy for the past 12 years and believe it is the best philosophy for Living on Earth. Dallas native. Philosophy degree, Trinity University. Director of Advertising Sales, HDNet and HDNet Movies.

What is your favorite book?

Combination of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. But I also appreciate and study the non-fiction books on the Objectivist Philosophy. Such as - Philosophy: Who Needs It, Why Businessmen Need Philosophy, Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand by Leonard Peikoff. Just finished Viable Values, and starting Normative Ethics, both by Tara Smith, Chair of Objectivism, U of Texas.

What is your favoite type of food/restaurant?

Just got back from Paris so most all of the restaurants I visited rank very high, most extravagant would be Le Bristol in the Bristol Hotel.

What is one of your most unique characteristics?

for this meetup group, my knowledge of Objectivism. I've studied it for the past 12 years, attend the national conference every year and take a full load of courses. I don't listen to music in the car, i listen to philosophy lectures on CD
