About Me

I’m a philosopher at Bowling Green State University.*

I was born and raised in Indiana. I received my PhD in philosophy from the University of Arizona.

I mostly write about things in moral philosophy, social philosophy, moral psychology, and political philosophy. I prefer working in new areas where there is lots of open terrain.

I collaborate often, especially with my friend Justin Tosi. We wrote this book together as well as this one.

My brother Craig is also a philosopher. You can check out his work here.

I pull for the Cincinnati Reds, the Indiana Pacers, and the Indianapolis Colts.

My favorite fictional detective is Nero Wolfe.

*Starting Fall 2025, I will be Associate Professor of Humanities at the Hamilton Center at the University of Florida.
