I'm a Detroit native, Boston-educated enthusiast of postmodern international relations. Special areas of interest include intelligence, globalization, religion & intellectual history.
I also harbor a deep affection for languages. Portuguese, Spanish & French are my friends; on the horizon are Turkish, Arabic & Farsi.
Currently in Brazil exploring my roots & thinking about the growing diplomatic role of the middle powers.
