Who am I?

My name is Brian Leli. I’m a writer from the American Midwest, currently living in northern Thailand. Before moving here for the second time in 2017, I spent a few years in England, Colombia, and Cambodia. My professional background is in journalism, teaching, and web design. At the moment, I work remotely as an editor for a nonprofit media org in the US. Most of the rest of my non-writing energy goes to my wife and family; my meditation, breathwork, and yoga practices; and my interests in social and evolutionary psychology, cultural anthropology, and the workings of the mind.

You can email me anytime at sirbrianleli@gmail.com.
