CURRENT MISSION

Working on an American History PhD

ABOUT ME

I'm a grad student at UT-Austin. My schedule is very flexible but during the school year it's really tough to accommodate any visitors due to the requirements of my program. So if you'd like to visit Austin in the heat of summer, let me know!

PHILOSOPHY

objectivist; libertarian
