I discovered Stoicism on 2018 through a growing general interest in philosophy. I felt then that it might provide structure, meaning, and guidance that was lacking in my life, though that was not really understood. Since learning more about Stoicism through self-study, the SES , and Marcus Aurelius Program at the college, and implementing it into my life, that initial feeling has proven true. And I work now daily to know myself and the cosmos, and thereby change myself for the better.
I live in Kamloops BC, Canada and work as a journeyman Carpenter during the week. I also previously taught carpentry at a community college in northern Alberta. I also write/blog on Stoicism on occasion at https://aspiringstoic.substack.com/
