About

A lifelong New Yorker, I studied philosophy in the early 1970s at New York University (under Sidney Hook, while working for Herbert Aptheker and studying jazz guitar under Pat Martino) and in the late 1970s at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (under Milton K. Munitz and J. B. Schnee­wind).

By the grace of God, my journey from Communism through Anarchocapitalism to Christian Individualism has been enriched by conversation (and in many cases friendship) with Murray N. Rothbard, James A. Sadowsky, David Gordon, Bernard J. F. Lonergan, Eric Voegelin, W. Norris Clarke, Francis Canavan, David Ray Griffin, Lewis Ford, Greg L. Bahnsen, Gary North, John W. Robbins and, last but certainly not least, Otis Q. Sellers.

In 2019 I published Herbert Aptheker: Studies in Willful Blindness,  Christ, Capital and Liberty: A Polemic, and Atheism Analyzed: The Implosion of George Smith’s “Case against God”; in 2022, Philosophy after Christ: Thinking God’s Thoughts after Him. My articles and letters have been published in American Communist History, Opera Historica, Journal of American History, The C. L. R. James Journal, FrontPage Magazine, LewRockwell.com, Libertarian Alliance, The Philosophers’ Magazine, New Oxford Review, The New International Review, and Science & Society.

From 2003 to 2010, as a member of the International Society of Philosophers (since 2003), I mentored a dozen adults through Pathways in Philosophy, a long-distance learning program based in Sheffield, England.

For almost fifty years, corporate jobs paid the bills, but that’s all behind me now. (The jobs, not the bills!) Since 2018 I’ve been helping people with their writing. If you’ve written something (personal, academic, or business) that’s not quite ready for prime time, let me help you take it the rest of the way.

But my passion is to share what I’ve learned over the past fifty years about the philosophical primacy of worldview in general, the unique adequacy of the Christian worldview in particular, and the Christian worldview as Otis Q. Sellers (1901-1992), maverick Bible expositor, expressed it in his ecclesiology and eschatology. I hope to publish Christian Individualism: The Maverick Biblical Workmanship of Otis Q. Sellers in 2024.

The more than 200 mini-essays I’ve posted so far provide only glimpses of what I’m excited about. The best is yet to come.
