Hypocrisy is bliss. Or it isn't.

A board-certified forensic psychiatrist and former combat helicopter pilot, I like jotting down philosophical fiction for everyone awake at 2 AM overthinking everything. I've spent years observing how people rationalize choices and maintain contradictions. These observations inform fiction that's philosophical without being too academic, satirical without being cynical.

Author of Bulk Mulch (philosophical noise-rock comedy), The Unencumbered (satire of performative consciousness), and epic fantasy under different pen names, my work explores how ordinary people maintain systems they claim to oppose and how individually rational decisions create collective disasters. I accidentally started writing literary fiction about systems, complicity, and the distance between understanding and action.
