So far I've mostly just made a few edits, I haven't created any pages or done any major revisions. I don't have a ton of time to hang out on Wikipedia, as I'm a grad student and have to spend most of my time on stuff pertaining to my actual life as a developing scholar, but when I find articles that interest me if I have resources or knowledge about them I may chime in a thing or two or fix minor errors.
About Me
Personal
I guess I would be considered a Christian anarchist, though my political views are more a populist version of Jeffersonian Democracy. I'm also interested in Radical Orthodoxy, postmodernism, the Emerging Church, and New Monasticism. I like to discuss feminism, consumerism, and imperialism. I also consider myself an amateur historian of sorts and would like to get a Ph.D in philosophy. My favorite philosophers include Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Ellul, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, James K.A. Smith, Brian J. Walsh, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, and Soren Kierkegaard. Philosophical topics of interest include personalism, pragmatism, existentialism, deconstruction, media studies, and social constructionism.
Somewhat oddly given my criticisms of popular culture and mass society, I'm also a sports nut. I love baseball, high school and college basketball, football at all levels, soccer, hockey, ultimate frisbee, and just about anything else that is played on a court, field, or rink. The NCAA basketball tourney is one of my favorite weeks of the year, after the Cornerstone Festival and, more importantly, Holy Week through Easter Sunday.
Recent News
I got married on June 27, 2009. Shortly after the honeymoon (at the Cornerstone Festival) we moved to South Bend, Indiana.
