About

I play music for fun when I can. See blisshaha.com for more on that. I have been in several bands over the years, although I am not in one now. I play bass, guitar, drums, and bit of keyboard (I guess). I worked in a recording studio for about 2 years.

I got my B.A. in philosophy at Sac State (CSUS) in 2005. I am currently in a
Ph.D. program in philosophy at UC Santa Barbara. I plan on teaching philosophy to college students for a living.

My hub, so to speak, is blisshaha.com. I've got quite a bit of crap over there, like philosophy stuff, computer tips, and web design stuff.


Also, I try to blog at the following places: blisshaha blog & UCSB Philosophy blog.

HOMER: Now you know what I've been going through.
