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 a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Notre Dame Center for Philosophy of Religion. For the previous three years, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In addition to philosophy, I also enjoy sci-fi / fantasy novels, hiking and bike riding, and spending time with my family.
