Introduction

Welcome to my website. I have a philosophy Ph.D. from Fordham University (2004). My areas of specialization are metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of religion, with strong interests in philosophy of science and philosophical logic. Currently, I'm an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to philosophy, I particularly also enjoy reading sci-fi / fantasy novels and spending time with my family.
