Introduction

Welcome to my website. I have a philosophy Ph.D. from Fordham University (2004). My areas of specialization are metaphysics and epistemology, with strong interests in philosophy of religion, philosophy of science, and philosophical logic. I'm currently in my first full-time academic appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after having taught part-time for several years. In addition to philosophy, I also enjoy sci-fi / fantasy novels, hiking and bike riding, and spending time with my wife.
