Staff Profiles
Michael Vazquez, Founder, Executive Editor
Michael, is an undergraduate student at Weber State University.

His passions cover a range of disciplines to include geopolitics, applications of political theory, and water scarcity in the third world, international security, and the application of common sense into everyday politics.
