I was born and raised in South Jersey and attended Middlebury College for my undergraduate degree. Afterward I spent some years in Vermont working for a snowboard company and a year around Boston helping friends open a brewery.

I went to the University of Pennsylvania for grad school and taught at Bryn Mawr College for a year after getting my PhD. I then spent a year at Coastal Carolina University teaching and coaching Ethics Bowl. In the summer of 2025 I moved back north to start my current job.

When I’m not working I try to get outside as much as possible, ideally on snow in the winter and on a bike in all other seasons. I also enjoy playing music and going to shows. I support the Philly sports teams and, for some reason, Everton FC.

Here’s an interview I did a little while ago for the Blog of the APA.

All photos on this site, except the one on this page, were taken by me. This one was taken by my sister, I think.
