Bio

I am an Agnostic Atheist & Skeptic who is fascinated by the sciences & lowly high school graduate.

I place my faith only in those things which are supported by physical evidence resulting from the rigorous process of the scientific method.

I do not believe in those things which are not falsifiable. God is not falsifiable - you cannot scientifically test for the presence of a God(s).

I believe consciousness is purely the result of an organ (the brain) comprehending & synthesizing information.

I believe objective reality exists independently of the mind.

I do not believe in free will.

I have absolutely no interest in listening to or discussing conspiracy theories.

I strongly value logic & critical thinking. I have worked hard to remove all magical thinking from my mind.

I strongly believe that humility is the path towards knowledge.

My morality stems from the understanding that many animals (including human primates) experience consciousness, and thus also experience suffering & pain. Therefore reducing pain & suffering is of the highest importance.

I am passionate about amateur photography & videography.

I greatly enjoy wildlife, and find nature to be the greatest therapy I have ever encountered.

In 1993, 09 10 I started a Personal Records Book which documents 703 of my personal best achievements regarding the intellect, athleticism, & morality.

In 2011 02 09 - I was a Guinness World Record holder for blowing up and tying up 446 balloons in 1 hour.

In 2013 01 03 - I was a Ripley’s Believe It or Not for completing 11 one arm push-ups on a raw egg (without breaking the egg).

I have my name published in 5 books.

I was born in 1973 with a wife of 13 years & adult daughter. I reside in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
