  <about><![CDATA[I learned fiction writing from Ayn Rand's &lt;i&gt;The Romantic Manifesto&lt;/i&gt; (A Philosophy of Literature), and from books that pleasure me. I revere Ayn Rand and her hero in &lt;i&gt;The Fountainhead&lt;/i&gt;, Howard Roark.

I adore men of mettle like Dr. Jose Rizal, President George Washington, President Thomas Jefferson, the other Founding Fathers, and President Abraham Lincoln. I admire great innovators like Galileo, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, James Jerome Hill, and Mike Milken.

The values, virtues, and achievements of my heroes, as well as their battles, are an inspiration in my life and writing.

I work in the IT department of a company located in Midtown Manhattan.
