From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a 25 year old senior at Middle Tennessee State University, also working to build my business as an agent with Primerica Financial Services. I live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I have visited Wikipedia on and off for the last three years and have occasionally made edits to correct grammar, spelling, etc. After a problem where I was falsely accused of vandalism I decided to get my own account. I made my first ever serious contribution to the article on the Republican Party, which I've generally been supportive of. I support John McCain in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Race. I am a neoconservative, although recently I have found myself growing increasingly sympathetic to some aspects of paleoconservatism and the ideas of Oswald Spengler, and I am also a devout Roman Catholic.

I'm also a big science fiction fan, particularly of Star Trek. I have an inactive account on Memory Alpha and have contributed one article (on the Fen Domar) as well as numerous other edits/contributions. My goal when I began pursuing my first of two degrees was to eventually become a writer/producer for television/film and develop my own proposal for the next Star Trek series. Those plans have since been put on hold due to the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise and the box-office failure of the last Star Trek movie. I'm not particularly looking forward to the new one coming out next year, as it appears to be sacrilegious and a violation of everything the series has ever stood for. However, J.J. Abrams did Lost, a show I love (or used to, anyway), and Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have done a lot of great work I've enjoyed the past (The Island, Transformers, et al. [yes, I like Michael Bay—so sue me]). So perhaps there is some hope for it after all. Plus Zachary Quinto was a great choice for Spock. We'll see.

Besides science fiction, I also enjoy some fantasy novels, particularly the Harry Potter and The Dark Is Rising series. Current TV shows that I enjoy include Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Journeyman, Bionic Woman, and Life. My favorite TV show of all time is Babylon 5, and my all-time favorite film is Citizen Kane.

I plan to work in Primerica for the next twenty years or so, going back and finishing my second degree in Political Science whenever I can, before retiring and entering politics with enough money that I won't need to depend quite so much on contributions from special interest groups. I am a believer in Christian Democracy and would like to see a third political party established in the United States that promotes Christian Democratic ideals and a radical centrist political philosophy. That remote possibility notwithstanding, however, I would probably run as a Republican.

I want to set up one of the first Primerica base shops in Australia when the company expands there in the next few years. There are a lot of people who are desperately in need of the help and services that my company provides; I want to share our message with the world.

That's probably more about me than anyone reading this page would like to know, and more than I ought to give.
