CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a better place, on campaign at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm a political organizer in San Antonio. The reality of my life is that I work a lot, so I do what I can to meet people who aren't local politicians, including having an account like this. If you're intelligent, polite, generally charitable, and left-leaning in your views, we'll probably get along.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe what we do with our time matters and try to use mine to make the world a little better than I found it.

Interests

Politics, philosophy, religion, and current affairs are the things I spend a lot of time thinking about. Going to concerts and movies and bar hopping is how I spend most of my time outside of work.
