Committed to the disciplined pursuit of wisdom and truth through openness, reflection, and conversation — distinguishing what is known from what is assumed, without mistaking the unexplained for the untrue.
I'm a farmer and rancher by trade and by conviction. There's something irreplaceable about work that produces real things — hay bales, cattle, harvests. Material goods made from honest labor carry a weight that other work doesn't.
But the work of the mind matters just as much to me. I pursue ideas with the same discipline I bring to the land: rigorously, patiently, and without the comfort of easy answers.
I run a podcast where I explore these questions in conversation with others who take both humility and truth seriously. I believe in saying "I don't know" as readily as staking a claim.
I'm based on the farm. This site is where everything I do lives.
I hold my conclusions loosely. Confidence in a position shouldn't be mistaken for correctness. I'd rather change my mind than defend a wrong one.
There is moral weight in producing material goods. Farming and ranching aren't just livelihoods — they are a statement about what kind of work matters.
Mystery isn't a failure of knowledge. I resist the impulse to dismiss what I can't yet explain and stay curious about what others are too hasty to close.
