About

computer, notepad, pen, phone, and a cup of coffee on a table ready for inspiring work to flow

I exist to serve by inspiring liberation.

I have a variety of interests, too numerous to list. This is a space where I can indulge in some of my favorite topics and reactions to my most inspiring sources. I am always looking for more independence and more freedom in my life. I hope you enjoy them too, and perhaps be inspired to liberate yourself from that which makes you feel trapped, stuck, or otherwise reduces your optionality.

In order to understand some (maybe even most) of what I think and write about, it would help to know about various influences on my worldview. Listed below are selected works, including books and authors, film, and even social/political movements, in no particular order. This is a work in progress with new books, films and other influential media added irregularly. Enjoy!
