I am a gay, atheist / secular humanist male who has lived in Nevada my entire life. I work in the Information Technology field in the public sector.

I have a BS in biology/zoology, but have never worked in science or academia. I am a strong supporter of science, am especially passionate about the study of evolution, and feel VERY strongly that Creationism / Intelligent Design is a political battle (certainly not a scientific one) that we must win. I deplore the longstanding anti-intellectual climate from which American culture suffers and would love to see that change.

My politics are firmly on the left. I am a strong supporter of labor rights and am very concerned about the growing gap between rich and poor in the United States. It is my firm stand that persons have rights; corporations have privileges. Corporations are NOT persons. However, my political passions are not limited to this area. Free speech, reproductive rights, right to privacy, to name a few, are important as well.

And finally, George W. Bush is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.
