I am in the Philosophy department at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, USA.  Prior to moving to Lehigh, I was a JSPS postdoctoral research fellow at Kyoto University, Japan.  And prior to that, I was a Ph.D candidate at St.Andrews University, Scotland.

​

I completed my doctoral work under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Graham Priest.  My examiners were Francesco Berto and Kris McDaniel.

​

Much of my research has been concerned with the intersection between Heidegger's philosophy and analytic metaphysics. I also work in ontology, logic, philosophy of religion and analytic theology.  

​

In recent years, I have became interested in the relation between the principle of non-contradiction and the principle of sufficient reason. I am exploring this relation in the philosophy of Parmenides, Spinoza and other contemporary monists.  

​

I am married to Ricki Bliss, and I am the super-proud dad of Arturo (AKA Tulo). 

My best friend, Barry, is a majestic Boxer Dog. 

​

I am a lifelong supporter of Inter.
