Welcome to my user page. I am a public safety professional in state government. I started in college by working for the campus police department. I may switch agencies sometime in the near-future, so I'm not being specific so I don't have to change my page later. (Sorry)
My off-duty interests (in no particular order) include public affairs (...not just politics), counterterrorism issues, disaster and emergency preparedness, history, the militia movement, and the sociology of right-wing culture.
Politically, I identify myself as a libertarian. I'll omit my religious affiliation for now, seeing that religion seems to cause more divisiveness than even politics, but I will aver that I am not an atheist! But in the interest of balance, I will say that I have had more than a couple of friends who were/are atheists. Ditto on politics; I have friends & neighbors who are both 'left' & 'right'.
I'll add wiki links to the above text sometime. [8-2-2009] I am new to wiki editing so please, please pardon my amateur status!
