Author name: Chris Kolb

Hi, I’m Chris. I’m frequently trying out different things in life. Sometimes I approach success, often I don’t. Most of what I’ve done doesn’t really matter. I’m an anthropologist for whatever that’s worth. I taught at small universities for 16 years. I live in Louisville, Kentucky. I’m in my second term on the school board of Jefferson County Public Schools. I have a handyman business and some other ways I try to make money. I have a partner, a couple of kids, and a dog. I love to write. I grew up somewhat Catholic and gave it a shot as an adult but just can’t be a part of it. My church is community and political organizing. Jesus was a badass who wants his followers to take aim at the rich who exploit others and the powerful more concerned with their own prominence than actually helping people. I learned this from multiple priests, among others, so I guess religion isn’t all bad. I like a lot of different stuff: home repair, good books, great coffee, TV and film, trivia, music that doesn’t suck, learning, studying French, hanging out with friends and family, profanity, a few video games, and sports (University of Louisville, St. Louis Cardinals, and Liverpool are my truly deranged rooting interests). If, for some reason, there’s anything else you want to know about me, feel free to ask.
