About
I was born on September 30, 1969, in Flint, Michigan, a city shaped by industry and innovation. With both parents in the automotive sector, I grew up surrounded by technology, engineering culture, and the metaphysical questions that arise when humans build complex systems. This blend of mechanics and philosophy sparked my lifelong interest in technology and metaphysics.
At Carmen‑Ainsworth High School, my friends and I spent hours programming early computers. I continued this path at Michigan State University, earning a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in the Social Sciences, with additional summer coursework at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also a proud brother of Pi Lambda Phi, whose values of equality and intellectual curiosity shaped my development.
My work centers on Tech‑Metaphysics—the study of how metaphysical principles, information structures, and technological systems interact—and the growing need for Tech‑Ethics as AI advances. Now a graduate student in AI/IT at the Illinois Institute of Technology, I explore panpsychism, idealism, Buddhist mind theory, and how data integration in AI may lead to emergent awareness. My goal is to help shape a future where technology and ethics evolve together through understanding the metaphysical properties that govern the universe, society, and ourselves.
