I'm a laid back guy that loves philosophy and pretty much every other field of study. I consume information and media in every form (podcasts, audibooks, books, articles, movies, lectures, events, discussions, etc.). I have a passion for learning and teaching as well as for nature and agrarian life. I currently live in Cincinnati while I work on my PhD in philosophy, but I hope to move back to Kentucky or somewhere forested and rural when I am done with my school work here. I party sometimes, but this is a lot more rare since I moved to a new city by myself. I mostly prefer a bottle of wine, snacks, and a good discussion between friends or strangers when I can get it.
