Making Gentlemen.
Making Statesmen.
Reviving the Western Masculine Spirit
The Writing Desk
The Writing Desk is where I work out the harder questions in writing: what masculinity asks of a man, and what a man owes the world he lives in. These essays arrive irregularly, by design. A thing worth reading is worth waiting for.
The Foundation of Western Masculinity
Athens
Philosophy and Reason
The conviction that the world is intelligible and that the unexamined life is not worth living. It is the spirit of free inquiry, dialectic, and the pursuit of truth for its own sake.
Jerusalem
Revelation and Moral Law
The dignity of the person made in the image of GOD, conscience, covenant, and the claim that history moves toward an end. It supplies what reason alone cannot command: obedience, charity, and the sacred.
Rome
Citizenship and Order
Citizenship, jurisprudence, the res publica, and the administrative genius that turned philosophy and faith into durable institutions. Rome is how the West learned to govern.

My Story
In 2009 I won a start up competition on the idea of building a community of gentlemen online. The idea din't take off because I was focused on my master's degree and simply surving a life that had gotten well off track. My marriage was toxic. My finances were in the gutter, I was just trying to keep from drowning.
I decided to redesign my life, I wanted to be in the driver's seat for once.
With life on track I have the opportunity and freedom to dive into the topics I hold dear, philosophy, politics, and theology. Through the States of Men I have a channel to share the things I've learned and the mistakes I've made. With any luck I will help the next generation and preserve, maybe reawken, masculinity in the west.
