I'm just your average no name guy from middle-class America. Your typical child of the Midwest, raised on the farm & football. Being of mixed ethnic origin, & raised in rural, urban & suburban Midwest America, an affinity for culture & for breaking down the stereotypes of 90's America formed early on in my life. Having suffered certain personal tribulations & traveling around the country, I have grown accustomed to challenging & reevaluating my outlook & perspective on life, society & the divine. As such, in early college life I made a serious transition towards, religious, theological, philosophical & spiritual studies before refocusing back on the social sciences fields of my interest. I converted to Islam some 5/6 years ago & have subsequently spent time studying under the tutelage of renowned religious teachers in an Islamic seminary based here in the Midwest.
