Hello! It seems you have stumbled upon my repository of external processing. I am but a humble human bean, one of many in need of means to externally process reality, and one persistently possessed by the question of "Why?"

If so inclined, follow me on my mental circumambulations.

I am a philosopher and armchair theologian by nature, soldier and martial arts instructor by profession, and a husband and father by grace. My writing focuses understanding why we value what we value, reconciling my experience and my nature to the demands of my spiritual tradition, and in the words of St. Peter, "be[ing] ready to give an answer.." for what I think and what I believe to be true.



I hope you find what I write to resonate with you at best, and thought-provoking at worst. And perhaps you feel inspired to consider your "Why?" for yourself. God bless.

Ad Gloriam Dei!
