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 epistemology, the diachronic/modal dimensions of knowledge, knowledge-how, intuition, the relationship between linguistic and philosophical analysis, and semantic compositionality.

What I'm up to:

May 2009: Presenting "Purposive Knowledge" at the S.E.P. meeting in Edmonton.

April 2009: Commenting on Kevan Edwards, "Keeping Reference in Mind" at the Pacific APA in Vancouver.

March 2009: Presenting "Some Conceptual Issues in Intensional Algebraic Semantics" at the University of Wyoming Logic Society.

Guest editor for a Synthčse volume featuring articles from the 37th annual meeting of the Society for Exact Philosophy, to be held at the University of Alberta.

Co-editing with John Bengson a volume of papers on know-how for Oxford. 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, Jonathan Ginzburg, Jennifer Hornsby, Laura Michaelis, Alva Noë, Ian Rumfitt, Jonathan Schaffer, Paul Snowdon, Ernest Sosa, Jason Stanley, Michael Tye, Timothy Williamson and, of course, John and I.
