He moved to New Hampshire on 2007-06-30 as part of the Free State Project, initially settling in Manchester, New Hampshire.

J’raxis also provides IT services and hosting for a number of other pro-liberty organizations.
As a liberty activist, J’raxis is a supporter of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire and the national Libertarian Party, and also supports the pro-liberty caucuses of the two major parties, the Democratic Freedom Caucus and the Republican Liberty Caucus. In 2008, he was active in the the Manchester Republican Committee, and worked to support several candidates in that year’s State House elections. J’raxis was also previously active in the 2008 Ron Paul presidential campaign.
J’raxis is also a current or former member of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the National Motorists Association, Gun Owners of New Hampshire, Pro-Gun New Hampshire, Gun Owners of America, the National Rifle Association, the New Hampshire Pink Pistols, the New Hampshire Coalition for Equal Rights, the New Hampshire Outright Libertarians, the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, and Americans for a Society Free from Age Restrictions.
J’raxis is an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church and the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic. He is a secular humanist and believes that the the concepts of Self-Ownership, Freedom of Choice, and the Non-Aggression Principle should serve as the core values of human morality, as opposed to the diktat of a potentially nonexistent deity.
J’raxis can always be found on the DALnet IRC network in the # channel, usually using the nick J^raxis, Iraxius, or jraxis.
J’raxis is the creator and primary maintainer of the website J’raxis·Com. The website first went online in 2000, but has existed in various manifestations at less concise URLs since 1996-09-13. It was taken offline for several months when its hosting server was compromised in mid-2003, and from 2003-08-11 until 2004-09-12, it sat mostly empty, with nothing but an index page claiming the site would be back online Real Soon Now™. On 2004-09-13, he began reposting the old site content, after completing the back-end XSL-based templating system and having converted much of the old content to the new format.
As of 2008-03, the site has largely fallen dormant again, and is in need of a complete revamp. Only the home page is updated with some regularity.
J’raxis uses the GNU/Linux operating system and free software almost exclusively. Originally using only Apple and Macintosh computers, he switched to Linux after using Unix-based systems at his university and workplace. In late 2002, he began to use Linux From Scratch on a Toshiba laptop, Iraxia; in 2005, he began experimenting with Gentoo Linux, and currently runs Gentoo on an AMD64 desktop machine, Iraxia64.
Software that J’raxis has authored, including the code to J’raxis·Com, is released under the GPL. The J’raxis·Com content itself is mostly released under a Creative Commons license where possible.
J’raxis intermittently runs a Freenet node.
J’raxis is not the WIPO Troll.
