Welcome to my personal website! My goal is to help people apply Stoicism and philosophy to improve their lives. I have a PhD in philosophy, where I studied Stoic ethics and education, and have been a practicing Stoic for over a decade. My main focus is Stoa Meditation, an app that combines mindfulness practice and Stoic theory so you can practice Stoicism. I co-host the Stoa Conversations podcast, where we talk all things Stoicism and self-improvement. I also contribute to Stoa’s Newsletter, where I write on Stoic philosophy and practice.
My main interest is in ancient philosophy. I am fascinated by idea of philosophy as a way of life instead of abstract theory. I consider philosophy to be a skill or craft that needs to be trained and practiced.
Beyond philosophy, I am passionate about martial arts, and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black-belt.
