I am a researcher who holds a degree in political science. Over the years, I've developed an interest in economics. This interest drives me to learn more about the field. To assist my learning experience, I use stackexchange because it gives me the chance to grow my knowledge by reading the answers and comments to posts. Furthermore, I can test my own knowledge by answering question and receiving feedback.

I enjoy cycling, cooking, watching movies. I am writing two film scripts, one cook book, and an independent research paper. The cook book is my most interesting project and is titled "Cooking for a Group of Drunks." The cook book is geared towards alcoholics in early recovery and is intended to teach basic life skills through cooking. As an alcoholic myself, I understand the dampening affect that the lifestyle has on skill development. When I got sober, I couldn't cook...in fact, I couldn't grocery shop like a "normal" adult-- for years, I shopped at Taco Bell, which was not healthy. Once the book is complete, all sales will go towards local AA programs.
