WRITER · ANDOVER ’28
Hi, I’m Konnor.
To put it simply, I like writing about economics, law, books, and stories.
I’m a student at Phillips Academy Andover. I’m trying to figure out what I’m interested and how I get to do more of that. This website is more for myself, to put my work into a concrete form. I love writing and I hope you can check out some of the stuff I’ve written.

Day 1
Hey everyone! (I doubt anyone is reading as nobody knows this website exists, but that's okay)
Today, June 5th, 2026, is Day 1 of my Spiel of the Day, something I've been trying to do for a while but never actually did. Instead of going to the pool while I'm here in California, I thought today could be my first day to actually bring this into fruition. My goal for this "series" is just to document my days and to exercise my personal writing, something I don't get to do a lot. I've organized these into small, manageable 500-word chunks that I can just look back on and read whenever I want to figure out what I did on a certain day or how I'm progressing on the projects I'm working on. I plan to be candid in these spiels and speak freely, with little direction beyond sharing what's on my mind at a certain point in time. FYI: This is not intended to be polished, and I will rarely go back and edit. This is a place for raw, unfiltered, metacognitive reflection.
