In Lafayette, Indiana temporarily while I figure out what I'm going to do to make money.

Former Philosophy Professor, currently writing a novel.

Degenerate poet. Anarchist writer. Hedonist Artist. Blasphemous Philosopher. Fighter of capitalism. Enemy of superfluous production and joyless consumption.

Make of that what you will. It's all hyperbole.

But seriously, I'm working toward creating something worthwhile, something that actually makes a difference and anchors a community of radical artists and intellectuals. Always looking for collaborators.

I used to be a philosophy professor in DC. I'm in West Lafayette for now after quitting my job; heading to Chicago or the Northwest soon.

I'm a leftist. My interests are art, literature, and philosophy. I write, read, and make art with most of my free time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, form new networks of mutual aid and solidarity, and explore new places throughout the United States and around the world.
