Hello. My name is Daemon. I am 41, and live in Saint Louis, Missouri.

I am originally from Seattle, Washington, but have been moving for years, so have not lived there in a long time. Since the last time I lived in Seattle, I have lived in Alaska, Missouri, California, Arkansas, Florida and now Missouri again. And I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles in a semi-truck as well as a few road trips and a cross country backpack trip.

I have 5 brothers and 1 sister. I am the oldest. All of us except one brother play musical instruments, as well as other artistic endeavors. The one brother (Dylan) who does not play music seems to have a knack for saying stuff from time to time that is really funny. He is a chef.

In my spare time, I watch movies, read, play the piano and guitar (an old recording of me), I also occasionally tinker on my computer and Linux.

I am an introspective and contemplative person, and spend a fair amount of time wondering about everything in the universe.

My friend's dog's name is Scamp. He likes to chase sticks, chew them up and play tug-o-war with anything. He has a flat basketball which last I saw was coming apart in pieces. He lives in Arkansas.

My favorite book (right now) is As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen. I am also (slowly) reading the Ringing Cedars of Russia series, by Vladimir Megre'. And I have read the Harry Potter series, which I enjoyed a great deal, among many others.

If you would like to know more about me or have any questions, please send me an email (address at bottom of this page).

Let us choose our thoughts wisely,
and change the world,
ours, and theirs.

Peace in Our Lifetime


It took Ghandi 55 years to get the British to leave India peacefully. He did it without any warfare. Our goal is similar. It is to bring peace to the whole world without warfare. War is not an answer for peace. It is apposed to, the opposite of peace. As We The People of Earth create peace locally, we will surround those that insist on war. It will become clear how we can peacefully persuade them to be peaceful. And as they observe, they will see and realize their war is meaningless. As we become peaceful, by default, the fighting will stop, because it cannot coexist with peace. It is in our focus on becoming a positive peaceful force rather than a focus on stopping a negative force that we become the peaceful people we can be. What we focus on, we become.
