CURRENT MISSION

to find a new mission

ABOUT ME

My main interest is development, whether personal, social, or political and my mission has been to facilitate it, in myself, my students, and the world. This culminated with a book I published in 2022, "Human Development: A reeducation in freedom, love, and happiness."

I'm always up for exploring/learning/partying or doing anything crazy/exciting.

I really hate to describe myself...check out my references to see what others think
