About Me

Musician and guitar player. I also have a degree in philosophy and have taken graduate courses in philosophy, as well as went to seminary and studied theology. I find John Petrucci’s themes inspirational. He actually based his song, “Illumination Theory,” from the 2013 self-titled album, on an idea postulated by famous philosopher, theologian and Catholic Church doctor, St. Augustine. The idea was rejected by medieaval theologian, philosopher and Catholic Church doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, who introduced Plato and Aristotelian logic into western Christian thinking Christendom.
