Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a total Blues music fanatic. I play guitar and have been in a few bands over the years. I enjoy going to listen to live music of just about any style.

I read a lot of philosophy and philosophy-related books for my job. When I'm not doing that, I usually read short, digestible things... I have a young son at home and it's hard to find more than 20 minutes to read something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been very fortunate to be able to travel over the years. I've seen some amazing places and met wonderful people. It's too difficult to pick one amazing thing.

Countries I’ve Visited
