Creative and Activities:
Life is a creative activity. I try to balance peer-reviewed research writing with books and presentations to keep allow ideas to writhe with life rather than get smothered in the academic killing jar of professional journals. My musical work includes solo work on guitars, vocals and percussion. I released a solo CD in 2013 called "American Infidel" and the songs focus on the FreeThought movement of the 19th century.
