ABOUT

My name is Dustin Romney. I am a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am also a lawyer practicing civil litigation in the areas of real estate, business disputes, Constitutional law, and appeals. I have always had an intense interest in political philosophy and the spiritual underpinnings of secular governments.

This site and my podcast are dedicated to exploring that core belief and the nature of those doctrines and philosophies. Join me to discuss. All respectful and well-founded perspectives are welcome!
