Degree in Modern European Intellectual History and another Master's in Architecture and Graphic Design (student of Frank Gehry and the late Franklin D. Israel)- but, his greatest loves are for literary criticism, critical philosophy, technomusic - and, he confesses, for his Jeep Wrangler.

He is currently working on 5 website projects, after a deconstructionist theme. As Teddy is Irish, he also is inspired to publish his corpus of poems someday soon. He loves Seamus Heaney's and Emily Dickenson's works. It will be entitled "Mind, Bodies, Exchange." He also has an available list of clients and professional affiliations. His personal indebtedness is to Mr. Alvarez for his Art Direction of this Website.
