About

My interests and hobbies include ancient and modern political philosophy, German language and culture, darts, politics, and travel. Some of the shows I watch religiously include NCIS, Heroes, Jeopardy, Grey's Anatomy, Burn Notice, and Law & Order. I am currently reading selections from Leo Strauss' and Joseph Cropsey's A History of Political Philosophy as well as Werner Dannhauser's text Nietzsche's View of Socrates.
