I was raised in Michigan and still self-identify as a Midwesterner. I live in New Jersey and teach at a public funded (well, less and less these days) liberal arts college. My areas of specialization are ethical theory, applied ethics, pragmatism, and moral psychology. I have also written on the nature of paradox and I am the co-author of a textbook on symbolic logic. A long time ago I played guitar in the world's least successful funk band.
