Michael Mealling
Michael Mealling (1969 - ) was recruited into the LP by the late Ron Crickenburger in 1989 or 1990 while at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
He served for one election cycle on the Georgia state executive committee, but became discouraged after realizing the amounts of money required to make an impact and especially discouraged about the idea of repairing the United States.
As part of his efforts to get to a place where he can be free, he spent several years with the Artemis Society, where he served for a time as president, and The Moon Society where he served for a time on the board of directors.
He is presently vice president for business development for Masten Space Systems where he hopes to be most effective in paving the way for settlement in space.
He currently embraces neolibertarianism and is presently not actively participating in the Libertarian Party over differences on the war issue.
He is a proponent of classical educational systems.
He has maintained a space industry blog since 2003
He has had extensive work and experience with the infrastructure of the Internet, spending 15 years at VeriSign and writing several RFCs.
