Before that, he wrote columns for an online magazine named The Muse Collaborative under the pen name Knehmo. He endured the great state of Missouri long enough to graduate from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. He is a former boatbuilder who cannot swim, interested in critical race theory, philosophy, and humor, and has a love for cycling that occasionally annoys his peers.
