Bio

I don’t know why you’re here, but I appreciate it! About me:

I grew up out ‘West’ and then moved to the American Middle-West for a degree in Political Science (with a dash of other things sprinkled in). Once upon a time I worked on political campaigns, NGOs, and corporations with techie brands and kombucha on tap. But not at the moment.

I’ve moved around a lot, but my interests have kept steady through all of that change: history, literature, ecology, ‘The Left’. But I try not to limit myself! While I’m not writing much here anymore, you can find my most recent work at Reading Left, which is a weekly newsletter about books and online writing from a strong left-leaning perspective. I hope you’ll give it a read!

Thanks for sticking with me. Happy reading!
