Greetings,
In addition to my endless and unfruitful job search over the past two years, I have been actively engaged in creative projects. I'm in the process of writing two books. The first is 90% finished with the second book 75% completed. And I have pictures to prove it!
The first book, "Dark Matters: A Journey Through Darkness and Into Faith," is a memoir and cultural analysis spanning two decades of my life. It navigates my transition from academia to law enforcement, incorporating personal experiences and real stories to shed light on the societal and ideological currents shaping the U.S. today. Written in a humorous and relatable style, this book aims to empower those navigating similar challenges.
The second book explores the origins and impacts of woke ideologies, drawing on my postdoctoral focus on critical policy studies. I delve into the dangers of critical theory and its offshoots, such as critical race theory and postmodernism, offering insights into their influence on public discourse and policies. Despite acknowledging their epistemic value, I emphasize the negative consequences of these theories, branding them as destructive and lacking constructive solutions.
I am also currently (and actively) working on a new EP due out this year entitled, "Just Another Sad, Underemployed, Deadbeat Dad." I know, right?!

I make funny videos of mostly me messing up while practicing. And my dog, Niko. Come to see him. He has to sit and watch this stuff all the time and is stuck with just me. Do it for Niko!

Love,
Mike & Niko (my dog!)
