Jay Braun
I am 34 and born and raised in the Delaware/Maryland area.I went to college in the deep south and had a double major while being a varsity athlete traveling up to two days a week year round.
I work in banking and teach finance at the college level and do free seminars for seniors citizens at my church on personal finance. In banking I have spent extensive time lending money, collecting money, and dealing with mortgages as well as marketing and compliance.
I am a southern Democrat, but very conservative and often will identify more with republicans. I would call myself, pro '"life, pro-gun, pro-god, pro-america and anti-obama.
I have been playing guitar for a bit now and enjoy 80s hard rock, blues, heavy metal, and classical. I also sometimes collect coins and football and baseball cards.
My late father once said its better to know a little bit about a lot of things that everything about just one thing. With that said I write about a variety of tops including history, musical instruments, movies, guns and especially politics. I do try as much as possible to be fair, but I am far from being liberal.
