Hi.

I’m here to inspire and motivate you to think and laugh about inner-peace. That’s why I don’t paywall any of my content and offer free, weekly essays and podcasts, as well as one new novel, every year.

Here are links to three popular posts that may help orient you to Here, which is Where You Are.

Here’s a short bio:

I have written weekly fun essays called You Are Here since 2006.

In 2021, my wife Elana, brother Sam, and I started our metaphysics podcast: Coffin Talk.

I also make music: Punchclock & Smirk

write novels: Dysfunction, Baby Doll (The Book, (2012), Too True to be Good (2017), The Apology (2021), and Ardor (2023)

and make videos: Squawk (2018), YouScience (2020), & Me-Search (2021).

I also index books, run a writing workshop, drink coffee, and eat avocados, and my favorite part of life is my family, which includes my wife, son, and two daughters. Oh and we have a dog. I love dogs!

Smart, slightly snarky writing. George Carlin, Ram Dass, and Plato in a blender. Irreverent relevant reverence. You Are Here. Rest for a bit.
