Welcome

Here you can find a selection of my written works ranging from scientific writings, to persuasive essays, and historical analysis.  I hope you enjoy!  Feel free to comment, but please do so respectfully.  

I have two goals when sharing what I have written.  First, I want to make my thoughts and ideas open to the rest of the world.  Second, in doing so, I hope my reasoning and presentation will spur on conversation, enjoyment, and thoughtfulness in the reader.  

 Note: Everything presented here is of my personal understanding at the time it was written.  My views may have changed since their publication; and so, I may contradict myself occasionally.
