About Me and this Site
I created this site, Beyond the Told, to share ideas and information that are often overlooked in public education, mainstream discourse, or comfortable narratives. I write about history, health, leadership, security, education, economics, and related systems because these areas interconnect in ways that shape decisions, outcomes, and lives. A gap in historical understanding can distort health policy; flawed incentives in education can undermine security; misaligned leadership can amplify economic problems, and so on. My goal is to surface those connections, overlooked details, and questions worth asking, even when the answers challenge assumptions.
Much of what I publish addresses topics omitted not from conspiracy, but from institutional convenience, cultural consensus, or simple oversight. Some pieces reflect firm conclusions from research and experience. Others capture ideas I explore as I learn them myself. In either case, the intent is the same: to equip readers with perspectives they might not have considered and to encourage them to test those ideas against evidence and reason.
My background includes doctoral training in Leadership, as well as studies in Health Science, Education, and more. I draw on cognitive-behavioral principles, systems thinking, and epistemology to examine how reasoning fails, how biases harden into beliefs, and how those beliefs drive individual and collective outcomes. Leadership remains a frequent theme, but it serves as one lens among many for understanding broader human systems.
This site forms an ongoing project, not a polished doctrine. I prioritize clarity, contrast, and real-world application over popularity or consensus. If you’re seeking simple slogans or ideological reinforcement, this may not be the right fit for you. If you value rigorous thinking, historical context, and the courage to question inherited views, stay and explore. Read critically, connect the dots across posts, and decide for yourself what holds.
Thank you for reading.
