From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a lay STL student at Dominican House of Studies. I have an MA (in Moral and Systematic Theology) and an AB (Philosophy and Theology) from Christendom College.
I am particularly fond of Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, TS Eliot and Oscar Wilde.
I consider myself an analytical Thomist and a bit of a mediaevalist, at least in sentiment.
Linguistics fascinates me. History's not too bad either (particularly English).
