About Me

My name is Guy. i'm 29.

i'm a philosophy major at the University of Oklahoma, and starting next Fall i'll be a Ph.D. candidate at OU.

i'm a Guitar Instructor and a BBQ cook.

I have the most wonderful son in the world, Devon Asher.

i'm an explorer at heart--i love to think/read/watch about how there's plenty left to discover in the world. That would include lots of things "Fortean" and semi-"paranormal," but also just against-the-mainstream theories about history or science.

i'm a philosphy student--analytical and thinking deeply a lot of the time. i like to think philosophically about religious matters that are important to me, but i really need to improve my ability to do raw philosophy. i'm only a senior undergrad, so i've got a ways to go and time to improve.

i suppose i could stand to learn to have a little more fun sometimes. i'm definitely a little too serious and pre-occupied sometimes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

i think it'd be cool to meet myself in 40 years. Maybe i'd be something like this:
