Hi, I’m Elliot

Fourth of eight kids, raised on a pseudo hobby farm in Blythe, Georgia, homeschooled, brought up on competitive junior golf, the Boy Scouts, and Jesus. Former Republican Hill staffer, Vivint Sales Bro, VT Construction, and Hollister Co. Currently 25 and in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where I work in business development, whatever that means.

I don’t think you should care what I think — not inherently. Maybe you already know me, and you’re here to see what I’ve put out in the open. If not, I just hope I’ve made something worth your time, and I’ll let you be the judge.

What I'm about

Full story
I.

History & Geopolitics

How power, place, and the past shape the present — with a particular interest in modern China and the 20th century.

II.

Philosophy & Faith

The questions that don’t resolve cleanly: meaning, morality, belief, and what to do with the ones that stay open.

III.

Cities & The Built World

Urban life, infrastructure, and the craft of making real things in the physical world.
