About me

Gender Male
Location Indiana, United States
Introduction I am a 22 year old graduate student at Western Michigan University, working towards a Master of Arts in philosophy. I hope to eventually go on and get a Ph.D. and then teach philosophy. My hobbies include reading, singing, acting, philosophizing, having opinions, playing board games, swing dancing, telling bad jokes, being Anabaptist, and looking things up on Wikipedia. I live with my wife Ali in South Bend, Indiana, and commute to WMU. Before this I lived in Pennsylvania (where I went to undergrad), and before that with my parents in Manitoba, and before that--too many places to list. Nowhere feels especially like home to me anymore, which most of the time is okay with me. It does mean, however, that I am addicted to traveling, which isn't good because (being a graduate student) I have no money. I hope one day to overtake my brother again in number of countries visited.
