Political Views: Generally conservative, but not an iron clad matter. I believe there are bonafide threats in the world and that it is prudent to remain alert and strong. I think everyone should carry their own weight when they are able and that everyone should be free to make their own choices but then accept the consequences of their choices. I do not object entirely to helping people down on their luck -- social safety net -- but the problem is it is so easy for human nature to become dependent on this safety net and live on the dole as an entitlement. If I were to support any particular social spending it would be more public money for university education to help those with limited means go to college. I think the increased income from these college educated individuals would more than return the investment. I'm very staunchly pro-second amendment and feel the low hanging fruit"common sense" gun control laws were harvested long, long ago . . . like maybe in the 1930's.
Occupation: Patent agent -- I write patent applications and reply to office actions in an intellectual property law firm. I spent 15 years as an engineer and found that this new profession is an improvement on engineering (less uncompensated overtime, less pressure cooker deadlines, less off-shoring risks).

Personal interests: Cooking, reading, hunting, backpacking
Family: Married once, still married, 21 years. 18 year old son leaving for Texas A&M University this fall; 16 year old daughter will be a junior this fall; 11 year old daughter will be a 6th grader this fall.
Location: Live in a suburb north of Dallas, Texas. Lived for 15 years in Oklahoma near Tulsa. Born and raised in Illinois, on a farm.
Education: BA in Political Science, Minor Law Enforcement Administration (one class short of Minor in Philosophy), Western Illinois University; J.D., University of Illinois
Occupation: Attorney; mergers and acquisitions and transactional stuff...
Personal Interests: Hunting and shooting sports; martial arts
Family: Married, together for 22 years; 22 year old stepson, 15 year old son, two grandkids, ages almost 3 and 1 1/2.
