After spending the first 21 years of my life sheltered in small southern Ohio town (population 700), I've been dedicated to expanding my worldview. Upon completing my studies in computer science and psychology, I quit a 6-figure job to travel the world, living below the poverty line with a backpack full of books, journals, and a laptop.

With an autodidact's obsession, I spent the next decade exploring affairs with multiple beliefs, from occultism and Jungian psychology to Buddhism and transhumanism. To test my ideas, I converted the chaos of my mind into several on-stage plays, six science fiction novels, dozens of scientific presentations, and hundreds of essays.

As I honed in on my path of self-actualization through these many acts of creation, I founded a publishing company, a non-profit, started a world-ranked podcast, and completed a graduate degree with an emphasis on social neuroscience. My goal is to now use my scientific education, philosophical musings, and real-world experience to promote ideas that improve individual well-being and society as a whole.
