To visitors,

 

You may recognize me as a scholar. Yet, I try to make my life not confined to the ivory towers of thought; I am also committed to service as a Firefighter.
To live is not merely to exist, but to engage, to experience, to embrace the full spectrum of life’s offerings, while providing help to those in need.

In this site, you will find my publications, media pieces, and a detailed account of my scholarly and vocational pursuits. Additionally, my Curriculum Vitae is also available on the adjacent page.

Should you desire to engage in correspondence or require further elucidation on any matter presented, please do not hesitate to utilize the contact information provided below.
