Welcome to my personal website! Here I talk about Stoicism and philosophy as a way of life. I have a PhD in philosophy, where I studied Stoic ethics and education. I am currently working on Stoa Meditation, an app that combines mindfulness practice and Stoic theory to let users train themselves to become better Stoics. I also co-host the Stoa Conversations podcast, where we talk all things Stoicism and a self-improvement through philosophy. You can find Stoa’s Youtube account here, where we regularly upload stoic meditations and podcast episodes.
My main interest is in ancient philosophy, specifically moral education in the Stoics. I am fascinated by the Hellenistic conception of philosophy as a way of life, which is to be practiced in order to achieve virtue and happiness. I am also interested in philosophy as a skill or craft, and how training and practice factor into become a better philosopher and person.
Beyond philosophy, I am passionate about martial arts and compete regularly in brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling.
