Hello,

I am a United States Army Soldier. I graduated cum laude in Economics from the [[University of Nevada, Las Vegas]], December 2009. My interests include science-fiction, economics, politics, philosophy, personal fitness, technology, and popular science. I plan on finishing my 3 year stint (a.k.a. gap years) then pursue a legal education afterwards. Preferably relating to High Technology and Law, something akin to the program at [[Santa Clara University]].

My favorite authors are [[Vernor Vinge]], [[Robert Heinlein]], [[Robert Nozick]], and [[Ayn Rand]] (as a novelist, not a philosopher). My approach to economics that kept me sane and intellectually curious, during my years of study, were significantly influenced from [[Austrian Economics]] and the [[Libertarian movement]].

As for publications, I read The American Scholar, The Economist, and Wired magazine.

I'm not a troll or totalitarian when it comes to editing, if I feel an article needs substantial edits then I will provide my reasons why in discussions. If it is a nominal edit, I will include  my reason for doing so in the summary line.
