I am an American who grew up in small town USA.  I currently reside in Los Angeles California with a wife and one teenage daughter. I am of Armenian and Italian decent which counts for just about everything these days I think.

I spend my free time with Joseph Campbell, Seneca, Umberto Eco, and Marcus Aurelius, as well as Berttox Warhorse and Bambitox Battlecat our two English Bulldogs.
