About Me

Dave "Rock" Cowles: Inman, South Carolina, United States; I enjoy family, travel, dogs, ukulele, funky hats, volleyball, cycling, Yoga, reading, improv, emergency preparedness, Facebook, various forums, graphic arts, web design, movies, and music. I'm an avid knowledge and research junkie and get a bit obsessive at times before moving on to my next new interest! My political leanings tend to be Libertarian. I am an Ignostic Humanist & Pastafarian. I'm an ordained minister through a half dozen churches and have held an honorary Doctorate of Divinity since the early nineties. I am a South Carolina Notary Public, a member of Mensa, the NRA, the International Society of Caricature Artists (former), and a former Mason. I've been a sailor, soldier, police officer, tattoo artist, body piercer, website designer, graphic artist, caricaturist, cab driver, steelworker, aircraft mechanic, HAWK Missile Technician, cook, salesman, messenger, service writer, dispatcher, office manager, plant worker, Battlefield Effects Technician, and several other things.
