I was born and raised in Fall River, an old mill town with lots of pride in southeastern Massachusetts. I stumbled upon philosophy while pursuing a B.A. in Psychology at Bridgewater State University and never looked back. In 2009 I moved to Pullman, Washington to pursue my M.A. in Philosophy. After graduating from Washington State University in August of 2011 I moved beside the beautiful Canadian Rockies while I completed my doctorate degree at the University of Calgary; I finished and my degree was conferred in February 2019. After graduating I moved back to southeastern Massachusetts where I now teach full time at Providence College. Prior to taking this position which began in the Fall of 2023 I taught as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Bridgewater State University for the 22'-23 academic year and before that I was a Full-Time Visiting Lecturer At Northeastern University for both the 20'-21' and 21'- 22' academic years. Before I was able to secure full-time employment I taught part time at both Bridgewater State Univeristy and Umass Dartmouth. In the Fall of 22' I  started teaching online courses at Rutgers University as well. When I am not doing philosophy I enjoy spending time with the my friends and the little people in my life (pictured with me on the right is my son Benji (little guy) and stepson Jordan), hiking (that's me climbing Mt. St. Helens in the foreground on the left), traveling, watching the Celtics, listening to music, talking philosophy, trying new restaurants, watching movies, and taking photos.

I recently finished an interview with Clifford Sosis over at 'What It's Like To Be A Philosopher', where I delve more deeply into my background. You can find it here if you're interested
