| Location | Binghamton, NY, United States |
| Introduction | I'm currently working toward my doctorate in the Philosophy, Interpretation and Culture Program at Binghamton University in Binghamton, NY. I have a lovely wife and a daughter who are wonderful in supporting me in my future philosophical endeavors. While I would love to someday teach at a university, I understand that this career path is competitive. If things don't work out in that arena, I would love to make a living writing poetry, short-fiction, and non-fiction. |
| Interests | Continental Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, British and American Cultural Studies, Post-Modern Thought, and Anti-Psychiatry |
| Favorite movies | Knocked-Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Spaceballs, Syriana, Burn (w/Marlon Brando), Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, There Will Be Blood, Godfather 1&2, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, The Big Lebowski, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Brokeback Mountain |
| Favorite music | Jazz, Industrial, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock, some Punk, Metal, even Classical, and Ambient. I have eclectic tastes, and I'm skeptical about people who carve out a narrow personality for themselves based on musical preferences. I love most music that makes you relax, think, and stir up contemplative ideas. |
| Favorite books | Mostly Philosophy, but I do delve into classic novels from time to time. Specifically I like to work on Post-Modern Novels. So, Pynchon, Gaddis, Gass, Rushdie, Joyce, Beckett, to name a few. |
