I work in epistemology and moral psychology. I received my PhD in philosophy at Ohio State University, under the supervision of Declan Smithies. In my dissertation I argue that even though we lack direct control over our beliefs, we can still be blameworthy for them. Much of my work centers on parallels between the epistemic and the practical. I am also interested in a variety of issues in ethics and the philosophy of action (intention, agency, and free will). And I like applying epistemology and ethics to the philosophy of religion.

I've taught over 10 courses at three different institutions, and my teaching interests range from normative and applied ethics to philosophy of religion to ancient philosophy. This fall I'm teaching Medical Ethics at the University of Wyoming.
