Generally trying to figure the balance between communication and communion. Has published some fiction, but not that much. Is also interested in translating South American literature. Just started a PhD in philosophy and education, studying group discussion pedagogies as models for "good" social arrangements. Taught high school literature and philosophy in Washington, DC for two years after undergrad, then taught philosophy at a private high school in Quito, Ecuador for two years. Sublimates with old-timey banjo.
