ABOUT ME

Work in progress.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to know things. That seems like a pretty good goal. If I can do that while making some sincere connections with human beings, I think that would be a life well lived.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like movies (as a whole). I do like music (very much). I've come to prefer non-fiction and journalism, but I'm still a sucker for a good story.

This is where it has to get specific. Traditional folk and black metal are my main reasons for breathing. Documentaries and biographies hold my attention on the screen. Travel writing and eyewitness accounts or analysis of interesting events keep me turning the pages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a cave; slept in a pillbox; cycled across Scotland; spent a month being homeless in my hometown. Had a hot shower and a soft bed in a house afterwards. That was pretty amazing.
