Biography:

Originally from Long Beach, California, I obtained my B.A. and M.A., both in philosophy, from the University of Houston after having spent a fair amount of time in the U.S. Army as an intelligence analyst.  My interests involve the ways in which aesthetics, ontology, and everyday life intersect, and what such intersections can tell us about social and ethical concerns.  In my "spare" time I enjoy producing a lot of noise that some might describe as music.
