I am a lifelong learner, educator, researcher, widower, and father who values kindness and genuine friendships. My interests include psychology, philosophy, history, AI, education, travel, wine, cooking, geopolitical topics (Conservative Christian), and reading. I teach at a christian university, am pursuing my PhD, write books, develop AI projects, and work as a Sommelier. I have lived in Germany and Japan and would enjoy thoughtful conversations, cultural exchange, and lasting friendships.
