He has professional background in software, defense, telecommunications, financial markets, fuel distribution, and lodging. Currently residing in the land of his birth, Long Island, New York, he has lived in twelve states.He has many disparate interests, but chief among these is the freedom movement and the Libertarian Party, where he was once a mover and shaker.He is married with two adult stepsons, two dogs, a former dog, a former cat, and a feral cat. To those keeping track, the turtle has gone to live with other turtles in an earthly turtle paradise.To see his slowly running commentary, aka blog, please go to:http://vanguardobserver.wordpress.com/
