Welcome to my blog!
I have a master’s degree in History from the City College of New York – CUNY (ΦΒΚ). I’m a US Army Veteran, a husband, and a cat herder (we have five!). I’m also an ordained minister.
I was born in Alaska, but I’ve lived across the US, in Europe, the Middle East, and in Asia. My wife and I currently reside in New York City.
This is a personal blog that I’ve been updating since 2008 so it has no consistent theme. Things that I’m interested in and that you might find posts about in this blog include #history, #religions, #mythology, #archaeology, #Linux/#OpenSourceSoftware, and #videogames.
Find more information about me on the About page or by browsing the social media sites listed below.

Additionally, this blog is part of the Federated Network using an Activity Pub WordPress plugin. You can follow this blog from your Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey/etc. account by searching for the user: @[email protected]
I’m trying to limit the number of social media sites I use these days, especially under my actual name. One of these days, I’ll get rid of Instagram too, since Facebook owns it. I don’t use LinkedIn for updates or communication outside of job hunting and updating my online resume.

I read prolifically. I average about fifty books a year, mostly in the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror genres. I’ve also been reading more about Buddhism, and I’m starting to read more about Stoicism.
