With a major in Philosophy and a Masters in Psychology, the author has an interest in interdisciplinary studies. He designed and taught courses on the Personal Archetype in Western Civilization, the History of Madness and World Indigenous Studies. His recent, detailed books of the generational mapping of historical time in World History, U.S. History and Ancestral Pueblo History, have led him to consider the main traits of empire. As a founding parent of an elementary charter school which featured arts integration, he also feels an obligation to convey knowledge simply and to be accessible to all.
