I'm currently a visiting assistant professor in the philosophy department at Virginia Tech. My main areas of interest are epistemology, and the philosophy of language/mind. I also have interests in logic and ontology. You can find some of what I've written HERE.

I was born in Marshfield, Wisconsin on 24 September 1975, and in 1988 moved to Arizona where I attended Brophy College Prep, an all-boys Jesuit school in Phoenix. I then went to the University of Portland (Oregon) where I received my B.A. in English and Philosophy in 1998. In 2000 I received an M.A. in philosophy from Indiana University, Bloomington, and in 2002 received my second M.A. in philosophy from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Also at UNC, I defended my Ph.D. thesis in May 2009, under the direction of William G. Lycan.
