I graduated from Southeast Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Arts in History. My current academic interests are in the history of philosophy, religion, science, technology, social movements, and the interrelation between these.

As an avid adventurer I being outside and active are my keys to staying balanced. I love hiking, camping, disc golf, playing ukulele, cooking, and bicycle touring! I view the study of the past as an integral component of fully comprehending the present.
