Obligatory "About Me" Junk
The Basics
I've been a hardcore developer for over 15 years. My experience includes working on a DNA analysis program, helping design and build a web based curriculum management system, and developing customized and highly complex customer relationship management (CRM) systems for companies such as Compaq, GM, Diebold, Trane, and John Deere.
Lately I've been working as a web builder, creating and webmastering various sites like:
- Ridley Report - a video news site
- PorcManor - a site to connect liberty loving renters and landlords
- Murphy's Taproom - a Manchester bar/restaurant
I've also been exploring my entrepreneurial side by working on Shire Silver, which is a newer and better form of precious metal bullion.
Over time I have moved politically through libertarianism to anarchism. Since anarchism is a fairly loaded term, to be more specific I like to use the terms agorist and voluntaryist. But these are all extensions and interpretations of the Non Aggression Principle.
Location
I moved to Newport, New Hampshire on May 1st 2005 as a member of the Free State Project. Since then I've built a house in Deerfield, had that foreclosed and moved to Henniker, then Manchester, then Grafton, then back to Manchester, and now I'm in Seabrook.
What I do
Like most people, I do lots of stuff:
- I volunteered for a year as a reporter for the local online newspaper, covering the school board
- I was elected as a Trustee of the Trust Funds for Deerfield
- I have been active in state and local politics
- I was a Liberty Dollar Associate starting in 1999
- I am the driving force behind the Shire Silver project
