I'm
a writer and software developer living in Utah with my wife and two
beautiful kids, ages 3 and 5. I write mostly philosophy and
science fiction, and I dabble in permaculture gardening.
As an
undergraduate, I studied Physics at Caltech, hoping to discover the
profound truth about reality. Physics turned out to be a little
narrower and more technical than that. After earning my B.S. with
Honor, I went on to seek the profound truth about reality at the
University of Pittsburgh. Philosophy also turned out to be a little
narrower and more technical than that. I quit the Ph.D. program with
two Master's degrees, and went on to live as a virtual hermit for two
years. I spent my days reading, pondering the Good, and writing a
book on the profound truth about reality. By the fourth draft my book
turned out to be a little narrower and more technical than that, so I
went on to seek reality by living my life.
Over
the last fifteen years I've read maybe a thousand books, including
the Koran, the Bible, the Confucian Analects,
Plato's Dialogues, Aristotle, St. Augustine, a dozen
translations of the Tao Te Ching, dozens of volumes each of
anthropology, evolution, ecology, mysticism, poetry, history, classic
literature, and philosophy. I've been a tutor, a Census worker, an
instructor for gifted students in logic and nuclear science, a phone
support technician, a junior high science teacher, a husband, and a
father. My first book, Progress Debunked, was published September 2017. Currently, I'm working on a couple of novels and a computer game.
