Thirty-something male living in Suburbia, New Jersey. Educator by trade, visual arts, high school level. I am in the business of explaining the difference between what things look like and what they are. Hidden Scents is my first attempt at authoring a work of non-fiction.

Varied educational background, spanning fine arts, art history, and pedagogical theory in the beginning, then turning to socio-infrastructural systems research in the end. Passionately maintaining personal studies in consciousness, culture, meta-cognition and the future of human interface. Coincidentally embedded in a social circle of professional and semi-professional culinary artisans.

Self-diagnosed with pseudo-hyperosmia, which means I only think I have a sensitive nose. Really, I am hypersensitive to my own thoughts – this is the case with most people who claim to have hyperosmia. I began this project out of anger and frustration at the dearth of information on the topic of Smell. As it turns out, the reasons for this data-vacuum are enough to write a book. And so I have.
