I am a philosophy professor at California Baptist University in Riverside, California. My Ph.D. in Philosophy is from the University of Southern California.

My research is in metaphysics (mereology, location, spacetime, material objects, persistence, vagueness, and modality). I'm also interested in logic, epistemology, philosophy of physics, philosophy of language, philosophy of religion, applied ethics, and the history of Western philosophy.
​
I am currently teaching Intro to Philosophy. ​

I've spent 8 years teaching at Johns Hopkins' Center for Talented Youth, 4 years at USC, 2 years at UC Davis, 2 years at the Prison Education Project, and 3 years at CBU.

I also make pizza.
