About Me


I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at The University of Kansas.


My area of specialization is ethical theory.


My main area of research is the nature of personal well-being. Some of my scholarly work also relates to topics in normative ethics, moral psychology, metaethics, medical ethics, and social and political philosophy. 


My CV and several of my papers are available on my academia.edu website.


I regularly teach courses on normative ethics, medical ethics, metaethics, and the history of ethics. I also have teaching interests in contemporary analytic metaphysics and philosophy of language, philosophy of art, and existentialism.


I received my PhD. in philosophy from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and my BA in philosophy from DePauw University (Greencastle, IN).
