About meAdjunct Instructor, Buena Vista University

Ph.D., Political Science, Louisiana State University, May 2009

I'm an Aristotelian-Liberal (read: libertarian anarchist) political philosopher, a gun owner, and a fan of science fiction and fantasy.

Check out my online "magazine" Prometheus Unbound: A Libertarian Review of Fiction and Literature.

About my libraryI estimate I've got about 1/3 of my library cataloged now. The rest is still boxed up due to lack of shelf space.

What's in my library? As far as fiction goes, it is mostly science fiction and fantasy. Nonfiction: political science, philosophy, history, economics, psychology, natural science, cookbooks, gun-related, etc.
