ABOUT

Head Ponderer on this site...

Son, husband, father, friend, and Jesus follower. 

College Athletics professional, living the dream, and working to keep it a reality. 

Avid Sports fan (Yankees and Knicks), and a pro wrestling fan. 

A Brooklyn Native, born and raised. But of a family heritage that includes the Caribbean, United Kingdom, Portugal, and India. 

Not much of a loud in-your-face talker, but I very much enjoy punching the keys on various topics. 

A simple guy of working out, salivating for fish tacos, and all re-runs of 90's TV.  

I love the art of debate, enjoy new knowledge, enjoy thinking through questions, and figuring out this race called life. 

You may call me a dreamer, but I think of myself as a ponderer...

...as I know nothing is impossible if done through Christ.

What is the purpose of this blog?

The purpose of this blog is simple, it's a place where yours truly can express thoughts, write creatively, and share with you various experiences as we all run this marathon of life. 

Where did the name "Dome Pondering" come from?

Well, after sporting a curly 'fro for a few years, I decided to shave my head for the first time right before I started the DP. As I thought about a name, I rubbed my head - a now bald dome - and I simply went with Dome Pondering. It's been history since. 

Hey, I never said it was a good story.

Why continue 'Dome Pondering'?

Blogs, really, any written format, aren't popular or widely visited anymore. The world has changed with the advent of social media and the immediacy of how we consume information, knowledge, insight, and even feel through life's issues. For better or worse (I believe it's been very much for the worse), we don't stop and allow a process on it all, much of what reading, writing, discourse, and sharing provides opportunities to do.  

The flick of the fingers, double taps, and immediate shorthand response on a touch screen may rule, but this small slice of the internet will remain - filled with my words, opinions, thoughts, and everything else in between. 

Just my thoughts, just my thoughts...
