I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wyoming, where I have been since receiving my PhD in 2003 from the University of Colorado, Boulder under George Bealer. My current research interests concern the metaphysics of various epistemically important concepts (e.g., belief, intuition, concepts and conceptions), the diachronic/modal dimensions of knowledge, and the relationship between linguistic and philosophical analysis.

What I'm up to:

UT Methodology Workshop. Symposium on metaepistemology. August 12th-16th.

Bellingham Summer Philosophy Conference. August 3rd-7th.

Guest editor for a Synthčse volume featuring articles from the conference.

Co-editing with John Bengson a volume of papers on know-how. Tentatively titled Know How: Essays on Knowledge, Mind and Action, it will feature papers by Julia Annas, David Braun, Brit Brogaard, Yuri Cath, Michael Devitt, Jennifer Hornsby, Alva Noë, Ian Rumfitt, Jonathan Schaffer, Paul Snowdon, Ernest Sosa, Jason Stanley, Michael Tye, Timothy Williamson and, of course, John and I.
