As a philosopher my topical interests center around metaphysics and epistemology, but extend far from that center. Questions concerning the nature of reality and self-knowledge inevitability lead to questions about how we ought to live and what it means to live a fully human life, and vice-versa. Hence I have serious side interests in ethics, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion. Outside of academia I enjoy traveling, visiting art museums, playing music, and writing short stories and poems.

I have been working at the Writing Center for several semesters. One thing that students should know is that it is not merely a grammar workshop—it is more like a forum for students of all disciplines to come and engage in fruitful dialogue. Though we are concerned with sentence-level issues, we always keep in mind the larger picture.
