I’m a philosopher at heart, but not the kind you’d find holed up in some ivory tower. My kind of truth shows up in the everyday—over a chipped mug of coffee at a greasy spoon diner on Main Street, in those cool conversations shared across a plate of bacon and toast. It’s simple. Honest. Real.

I stay connected to my community, drawn to people who think differently and who aren’t afraid to question the usual way of things. I like to stir the pot a little, to spark conversations that challenge old assumptions and to aim for something just a bit more honest, a bit more decent.

I spend my time researching the unknown unknowns, pushing back against the ordinary. If the meaning of life is to give life meaning, then that’s the compass rose.
