You can find out all you need to know about me in the links: 


 Let me tell you what you can't find there.

I have a verified profile on LinkedIn from two different sources.  I didn't pay for the verification, unlike some social media sites do (X marks the spot).

I served at a Catholic mission school in Liberia, West Africa, as a Peace Corps math teacher, near a Firestone rubber plantation.

I'm retired now and busy as ever. While I'm not an expert in AI or related areas, I understand its underlying foundations. I was a math major, software engineer, and Six Sigma Black Belt at Motorola. I also took online courses at IBM, Microsoft, and Databricks to get up to speed. I recommend folks query three human experts and three AI models on a topic.  If you are still confused, perhaps I can help. I regularly use

  • ChatGPT
  • Copilot
  • Claude
  • Gemini
  • Meta
  • Mistral
  • Qwen
  • Deep Seek
  • Grok
  • Perplexity. 

I used to be an academic bum at the College of DuPage, a while back. I took courses in creative writing, literature, philosophy, programming, and foreign language, for the fun of it.

I spent time with Native American medicine people and experienced their ceremonies, hung out with Eastern saints and sages, and spent time with professional homeopaths. While I'm an Eastern Catholic, I prefer the Byzantine (AKA Eastern Orthodox) rite, which I now follow through the Melkite Eastern Catholic Church. I live close to Eastern Syriac (AKA Syro-Malabar) and Western Syriac Maronite rite churches. But I have also visited 

  • Assyrian East churches
  • Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches
  • Protestant churches
  •  Theosophical Society in America
  • Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh temples
  • Islamic Mosques. 
  • Bahai Temple in Wilmette, Illinois, USA
I like silent contemplation methods, with an emphasis on the methodology rather than the metaphysics, particularly the traditions of 
  • Heartfulnes
  • Mindfulness
  • Soto Zen
  • Bruno Groening Circle of Friends
  • Integral yoga (AKA Karma (action), Bhakti (devotion), Raja (meditation), and Jnana (knowledge))
I love the Eastern Church worldview, as well as Theosis and contemplatio. I like these theological and philosophical ideas:

"We know where the church is, we don't know where the church is not." - Timothy Ware, Eastern Orthodox Bishop

I do occasionally write a blog on spirituality, AI, and other topics. I also have a blog of unusual superhero and ASI helper adventures. While I come up with ideas, I brainstorm with AI models such as

  • ChatGPT\
  • Copilot,
  • Gemini
  • Claude
  • Mistral
  • Grok
  • Meta
  • DeepSeek
  •  Perplexity
  • Qwen. 
My goal is to create a new adventure each month and, when AI technology matures, produce an AI-created, full-length Superhero and ASI helper movie. See RLK Reflections on Blogger with Victory Vanguard

You can find me swimming each weekday at a local health club. I do like various world cuisines, such as

  • Chinese
  • Vietnamese
  • Indian
  • Korean
  • Thai
  • Mexican
  • Italian
  • Middle Eastern.

Politically, I'm a conservative non-partisan person. I vote for the best candidate who can do the job. I'm also a big fan of good store brands, especially from Costco, Trader Joe's, and Walmart. For news, you see me checking out the BBC, News Nation, DW, NHK, and CGTN.  

I read a variety of articles, magazines, books, and comic books. I like certain Marvel characters like 

DC Absolute Universe superheroes like 

  • Superman
  • Batman
  • Green Lantern
Top Cow publications like
