You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEd News

I'm an author and a life long student student. I'm focused on advancing progressive ideas through writing, networking and activism. I write about wide ranging topics but am especially interested in public policy concerning the mass media, economics, labor struggles, and foreign relations.

I am also interested in science, philosophy, dance, music, and art. When not writing I enjoy practicing martial arts and meditation, dancing, producing music and videos, and cooking good food.
