Hello my soon to be friends!I am a published author, professor, advocate, darkroom photographer, and a man who enjoys having good conversations about anything that can help me understand our complicated world, and complicated people.At the moment I teach in an inner city school for troubled highschoolers, I am on contract for a few more novels, I am building a recording studio, and I hope to be able to find moments of joy in a better work/life balance.I love reading and literature, music, making music, art, especially post-impressionism; but the main things I enjoy are good conversations
