What are my qualifications?
I mentioned some of this in the post titled "Who Am I?", but I feel the need to expand on that.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2002 from the University of Wyoming. There was no specific focus in Math, it was just a general Math degree.
In 2004, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Wyoming, but the majority of my classwork was completed in the years 1998 - 2002. Technically I had a philosophical focus in Mathematics, but realistically it was primarily in the Philosophy of Science.
Lately though, my primary focus has been in the area of Metaphysics and Epistemology, i.e., trying to explain the notion of existence prior to experience. Part of the reason this blog exists came out of this search.
I have been employed in the health insurance industry for the last five years. I would say that I've lived a "normal" American life in this period, if you call having a job, buying a house, and getting both married and divorced normal, however I doubt my experience has been anything like what most people would call normal.
And as an afterthought for a more full disclosure: I had a 4.0 grade point average in high school, (people said, "YOU got a 4.0 GPA?") and I didn't miss a single day of junior high school.

What religion am I?
If you forced me into saying a specific category, I'd say none, but if you allowed me a little more freedom, I could give a better answer. That answer would be that I believe more or less in the overall Buddhist structure, with a Taoist zeal for balance and tendency towards chaos. Throw in some Pre-Socratic and Socratic ideologies and its pretty close, but I wouldn't call it a religion, it is more just what I think than anything.
