AKO has a master's degree in Art and Visual Culture Education from the University of Arizona and BA's in Psychology, Sociology, and Fine Art from St. Ambrose University, Davenport, IA. 

My intention is to create videos and other consumables in historical, religous, personal, and socio-cultural content to support my goal. 

My goal is to continue learning while querying and expressing wonder for our collective ideologies- to see how and where we (as individual collectives) have obtained our respective belief systems, especialy if hailed from within distinct religous groups, demographics, and individual cultures.

My hope is to fill in the gaps of our understanding. In explication, my hope is to find out why I believe what I believe as a Catholic, as a member of my community (Tucson, AZ), and as a part of my larger culture (U.S.A). And, in doing this, I hope to help others also come to understand their own experiential gaps a little bit better so that I and the willing can more fully develop and evolve together as an online community.

I recognize that some of my content may rub some people wrong at different points and times. Because of this, I welcome respectful discourse at my various points of contact. I am of the mind that beliefs and thoughts are meant to be vetted, challenged, and discussed in order to form greater understanding. 

Please feel invited and welcomed (unless you're a mass murderer or stalker murderer, in which case, you're not invited, go 'way).
