About me:
I am 48 years old, happily married to my wife Ann. I have three children and two grandchildren.
I work as the Controller for a small computer/printer repair/toner reseller on the west side of the mighty desert metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona. I have lived here in the Valley of the Sun since June of 1995. I was born and raised in Southern California. Used to live very close to Disneyland, was fun to go there and watch the tourists. I am a libertarian philosopher. I am not involved much in the Libertarian Party, in fact years ago I realized that meaningful change will never come from the ballot box. Education and persuasion are the key. Practice what you preach and set a good example. I am an avid reader, don't watch much television, really enjoy dancing, love to travel. I also enjoy writing, both fiction and non-fiction.
Back in 1985, I founded a libertarian oriented philosophy group called the Philosophers Guild. Have met many interesting people through that over the years. Have learned a lot from people who disagreed with me. Always good to examine one's principles, and equally important to keep learning. I have been writing on and off for public consumption since 1980. Have recently resumed public writing and activism. Send me a message if you are interested in learning more.

Who I'd like to meet:
For friends, I am looking to meet people who share a passion for intellectual discourse, to discuss all facets of philosophy, current events, social issues, and so forth. To see some of my writing go to: http://www.geocities.com/guildmasterron/index.html
You will also see work by other writers as well.
I am in the process of resuming publishing, mostly web based but most definitely some print as well, so if this interests you there is contact info at the website referenced above. Don't fret if you don't agree with me, very few people do and I learn a lot from such exchanges.
