Having taught at Maryville College for more than two decades, I love engaging students in conversations about philosophy, theology, and ethics. My teaching and research interests focus on metaphysics, philosophy of religion, philosophy and science, political and moral philosophy, and theology. I have published two books, multiple articles, and numerous reviews on these subjects.
