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 three at the moment!).
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.
Fun Facts:
- I was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and Kuwait in 2007
- I can drive a 5 ton tractor-trailer
- I fired a MK-19 automatic grenade launcher and it was a lot of fun
- I’ve lived in 7 countries, one of which no longer exists, and literally walked where Jesus walked

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
Gautama Buddha
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

If you’re looking to communicate with me outside this blog, Mastodon is your best choice. You can contact me there using any Federated software service.
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.
