Thomas is a 44 year old man from Denver, Colorado, USA

When I was a kid, I wanted to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek.

I studied astrophysics in college for 15 years, but, hard as it is
for me to admit it, I like studying algorithms and writing computer
programs at least as much as I like physics and astronomy. In any
event, I can make more money writing computer programs, and so that's
what I do for a living. In the aerospace industry, I write software
that controls and simulates star trackers.

While I was in college, I ran into a woman who was also studying
physics. She ended up wanting to be a home-maker and a teacher in the
home even more than she wanted to study physics and math. We are
married and have seven children.

In the early 1990s, I discovered the GNU operating system based on
the Linux kernel. I have been a proponent of free software ever
since.

In the late 1990s, my wife and I, who were nominally Catholic, became
actually Catholic. The Church continues to be much more interesting,
reasonable, and challenging than I ever realized when I was younger. As
a result of my conversion, my conscience has dictated that I leave the
Democratic Party, which seems not to understand the difference between
freedom and license. The so-called right to abortion (killing) of
unborn human beings is just the grossest feature of the problem. So now
I'm independent of party affiliation.
