Thank you for visiting my site! I hope that it gives you a clear idea of who I am as a scholar and a teacher.

From Fall 2019 to Fall 2026, I was Professor of Philosophy at Sheridan College (Oakville, Ontario). I have studied at the University of Guelph (PhD, ’15), McMaster University (MA, ’08), and The University of Western Ontario (BA, ’06).

I specialize in the philosophy of mind, with a particular emphasis on questions of philosophical psychology. Central to my work is the question, “how do beliefs cause action, and vice versa?,” which I approach from a Jamesean perspective. My work has been supported by Canadian federal and provincial grants and has won several awards, including the American Philosophical Association’s William James Prize. In the past two years, I have taken the framework gleaned from my earlier work and have applied it to the questions of Artificial Intelligence. You can find a brief description of my current research projects under “Research.”

Prior to Sheridan, I have had teaching appointments at the University of Guelph (F’15-W’19) and Redeemer University College (W’19). I have taught courses in digital ethics, applied ethics, critical thinking, social-political philosophy, epistemology, philosophy of science, and metaphysics. You can see descriptions for many of my courses under the “Teaching” tab, along with some words about my general approach to teaching.
