I co-founded The Baltimore Group after the disappointment of Bush’s reelection in 2004. I am a front page contributor at My Left Nutmeg, an emeritus front page contributor at Bring It On!, a 2005 Koufax Finalist for Best Blog Community. I also occasionally write for FireDogLake.

I work as the Operations Director for Students for a Free Tibet, an international grassroots organization that works in solidarity with the Tibetan people in their struggle for freedom and independence. I have worked in a Democratic Senate office, as well as for the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee during the 2004 election. Educated at Wesleyan University, The Johns Hopkins University, and Phillips Exeter Academy, I’m now living in New York City, via Hawaii, Connecticut, Maryland, and New Hampshire.

I formerly wrote under the pseudonym “Philo” in reference to David Hume’s Philo, the young skeptic in the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion; you can read the whole thing here . Hume’s Philo is a thoughtful, sharp, angry, passionate young thinker who raises some of the most important disproofs of the existence of God in the history of philosophy. I can’t say I fully agree with Philo’s unbending opinion, but I love his style and force. I graduated college with a degree in philosophy and Hume’s Dialogues is one of the biggest reasons I became a student of philosophy.
