About Me

I am an associate professor of philosophy at Ohio Northern University in Ada, OH. I received my bachelor's degree from Ashland University, my master's degree from the University of Missouri–St. Louis, and my Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Boulder. 

I specialize in ethics and regularly teach courses in environmental ethics, professional ethics, and ethical theory. I also teach critical thinking, logic, and philosophy and film. In the past, I have taught courses in the history of philosophy, philosophy of law, and political philosophy. When I'm not doing philosophy, I enjoy spending time with my family, visiting with friends, playing basketball and chess, and watching a variety of sports.
