I am a writer, podcaster, and anarchist originally from Orange County, California, but I now reside in Yukon, Oklahoma with my wife, Ashley, and three cats.
I started writing when I was eleven, inspired by the short stories of my older sister, Alyson, and my obsession with the television series, LOST. My first offerings to the craft were criminally subpar, but a febrile hunger to create story growled within me from that moment on.
When I was sixteen, I completed what would be my only complete rough draft of a novel for the next twelve years. Those Who Have Done Evil was a zombie novel with aspects of religion and sci-fi, which had nothing to show for itself except shallow characters and a non-redemptive story arc.
Undeterred, I took to non-fiction writing in early adulthood, most of which was published on my former blog, The Death of Death, which later spawned a podcast of the same name. Now known as the Everything Else Podcast, I continue to host the show on a variety of topics, including theology and politics.
In 2013, my friend, Mario di Bella convinced me of the five points of calvinism over a dinner at A’s Burgers in Dana Point. These beliefs would lead me to later become a confessionally reformed baptist. My theology remains a large part of my content.
I got married to my girlfriend of ten months, Ashley Diaz, in May 2020, amid lockdown hysteria and the fear that our wedding (set for Halloween that year) would inevitably be cancelled.
Said lockdown also solidified a longstanding vacillation I had between small-government libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism. After losing my career as a barber, I was forever convinced that any form of government, and of any size, was more a liability than a benefit to society. Much of the content I produce is focused on the philosophy of anarcho-capitalism.
My wife and I attend Frontline Church in Yukon, Oklahoma, where we moved in July 2020 to escape the stringent COVID-19 restrictions in California.
In 2022, I published my first novel, Black Threads, after years of work.
Aside from my short stint as a barber from 2019-2020, I have kept myself busy with meaningless day jobs to support my hobby of playing music, as well as writing—but in 2023, I began to work professionally in various writing-related fields, such as sales copy, editing, and ghostwriting.
