My name is Robby Hume. I’m a civil engineer and a Captain in the US Army. I’m currently an instructor in the Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Previously, I was an MPhil candidate at the University of Cambridge studying Engineering for Sustainable Development, earning my masters degree with a dissertation on water management along America’s coasts.

Since this site bears my name, I’ll attempt to keep it updated and relevant to my current interests and pursuits.  I’ve created three categories, hopefully broad enough to encapsulate most of what I do:

– Thinking
– Reading
– Doing

I’ll be sharing academic work and ‘thought projects’ (thinking), reflections on books and literature (reading), and anything related to the military or that gets me out and about (doing).  Many posts will invariably contain a mix.  As the site’s tagline portends, I anticipate more questions than answers.  I’ll just attempt to condense some of my thoughts into interesting prose, throwing some interesting quotes into the mix to shake things up.  We’ll see how it goes.
