I am a native of Minnesota and went to the University of Minnesota to get my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy which I received in 2001. I then got my master’s degree (MLitt) and graduated with honors from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. After remaining intellectually active for years–writing papers and joining the Oxford philosophical society, peer reviewing and delivering papers, I decided to get my Ph.D. through research and recently graduated with distinction in 2022. I now look forward to teaching and am thrilled to be a peer reviewer. I have authored several papers in the philosophy of science, and enjoy this opportunity to stay active in my chosen field. I like cooking, tennis, fitness, and being with my wife, Gabriela.
